Magic Rules #1, #2, #3

DOG TRAINING IS FUN!

At least it’s supposed to be…..Follow these simple FREE TRAINING TIPS to increase your effectiveness.

“Never, Ever, Call your dog to you to either punish or reprimand.”

Your dog MUST come when called, no matter what. If you call your dog to punish or reprimand, your dog will very quickly learn it is not a good thing to come when you call.  This is a major safety issue as there may be a threatening situation that you need your dog to come NOW!

“Always finish your training on a good note. No matter how small”.

If you are battling with your dog and he just isn’t ‘getting it’ go back to something that he has learnt well and is good at, Praise and finish your training session. Dogs have a latent learning ability, this means they can learn in their sleep, and chances are when you come back for another ‘go’ he will have improved.

“Keep your Training sessions brief. 10 – 15 minutes. 5-6 days per week”.

As a general rule, this is enough. Have the 7^th day off and just have fun with your dog. Our Head Trainer trained her Obedience Grand Champion on this regime. Try it, it works!
