Three training principles
This week’s Talking Tip offers a good way to talk about the three main methods for teaching your dog any behaviour.
Why I’m surrounded by UFOs
When you start training your dog it’s like falling in love. It’s exciting, emotionally arousing and novel. It’s easy to become obsessed about the new activity
Why you should develop a dog training habit
Every Tuesday and Friday at 7pm we’ll have a live online session – it’s called Down Dog Drills (what did you expect? We love alliteration!).
There’s power in a (dog training) group
I feel guilty I haven’t been doing as much training with Gus as I’d like. But most weeks I find it hard to find the time (and the enthusiasm if I’m honest) to train regularly.
Why dog days should be productive
Training your dog is another key part of caring for your dog. You’ll come to class or see one of the games in our Canine Challenge group, or hear an idea from somewhere and think, “I must teach Fido to….”. But without making, and sticking to, a plan, it never happens.
Helping puppies develop confidence
Puppies need training to do what we require of them – walking nicely on lead, coming back when called, being comfortable being handled to do all the husbandry and grooming they need, basic manners in the house and polite meetings and greetings.
