This weekend with the dog club was very informative and engaging sessions. There were a number of dogs with some behavioural issues, and it was amazing to see their behaviour change with the proper handling techniques. Penny, my trainer, displayed incredible patience and skill in working with these dogs. There was one case of a six-month-old German Shepherd pup being trained for Schutzhund. The puppy was awfully stubborn, obeying only when it felt like executing the “sit” command. Penny very patiently worked with the pup, correcting it while making sure it was rewarded when it complied. He seemed a bit resistant, with the pup at times actually trying to attempt to bite Penny, despite there being several equipment changes and numerous tries. She said the only reason it had not bitten yet was because it was too young. She then performed a temperament test, which was very interesting to watch. With only a little bit… Read More

Gracie

Gracie who recently was injured requiring stitches went back to the Vet to have her bandage changed which has to be done every 3 days. On this visit they noticed a small infection starting, so they changed her antibiotics giving her stronger medication. When my husband brought her home he also brought home another vet bill. The first bill was very expensive as they sedated her to do the stitches and we were also charged for initial antibiotics they sent home with her. Now they are charging for the stronger medication and for every bandage change. I cannot believe that for 3 stitches it has cost us almost double the cost it did to get the same dog spayed which is major surgery. I could easily have done the bandaging myself had I known they were going to charge for this. I assumed all of this was included in the first bill. I also question… Read More

Throughout my life I have owed and been around many dogs. With each dog and dog interaction I have learned. One of the many reasons I love being a trainer is because there is always more to study. Prior to taking my Instructor Course I had developed knowledge and skills training animals. During my course I learned principals and foundation and continued to build my handling skills. I was very fortunate to train under someone who was highly skilled and knowledgeable and I continue to work with her so that I can offer my clients and their pets a high level of skill. I have worked with other experienced trainers, attended seminars, read books, watch DVDs and other people who work or are interested in dogs. I appreciate that I have had various resources in which to gain knowledge and build my skills. Some of my best teachers have been the dogs I have owed… Read More
