Summer is over and with Thanksgiving just behind us. It’s time to get serious again!
I know most of us will be eating turkey soup for a while, and had a wonderful time visiting with friends and family, spending lots of time outside, enjoying our beautiful country. The time for being a party animal is over and our indoor phase is starting again. What a perfect time to help our dogs and tune up some of their behaviours and maybe even challenge ourselves into teaching some new skills to our dogs.
The Canine Good Neighbour program and Good Manners program are ideal for dogs of all ages.
While we all usually teach our puppies basic manners, akin to what children learn in kindergarten, it's important to continue educating our dogs beyond that initial training.
Imagine if we neglected to teach our children rules and skills beyond kindergarten or even primary school level - what impact would that have?
Instead of learning through trial and error, wouldn't it be more effective to teach by setting an example and guiding them?
Why do we sometimes think that our dogs can figure everything out on their own? They can't! If we want to maintain a harmonious relationship with our furry friends, they need our guidance and support.
We have enough Chaos in our lives, let's make sure our dogs are not part of that problem!
Challenge yourself with the assistance of our skilled and knowledgeable trainers who are BCSPCA Animal Kind accredited. Let them guide you and your dog towards achieving new heights and goals!
How about getting ready for Christmas, being able to go visit your friends' house with your dog, your dog being able to stay calmly on their bed while guests come and go and kids are running around? Would that be a good goal? How about you finally being able to walk down a busy street with your dog on a leash while your dog is completely ignoring all the distractions of people and other dogs passing by, would that be a good goal?
