WHY ...


Once you UNDERSTAND how to use positive methods, based on science to make learning enjoyable; it's easy to come up with EFFECTIVE ways to teach your dog polite social skills. Your dog will be eager to follow your BENEVOLENT lead.

"...the more we learn the more we see that other animals are smarter and more creative than we give them credit for, or perhaps ever imagined. Best to keep an open mind about the cognitive skills of the animals with whom we share our homes and the rest of the planet for "surprises" are continually forthcoming. " Marc Bekoff

The Pink Elephant

Last week was a National Bite Prevention Week across North America.

I had a brainstorm and with the help of others trying to train their dogs, created a couple of videos to provide awareness.




Something so simple as WAITing for the OKAY from another person BEFORE greeting or having your dog greet another dog can make a huge impact on the progress that they make in their training efforts.


 
I'm hoping to spread awareness about the simple thing people can do about this PINK ELEPHANT running rampant on the streets and through out the trails of Squamish.

Please WAIT for the OKAY to greet.

If you'd like to learn more about Trail Etiquette, here's a link to one of my favourite articles.

If you'd like to brush up on the Dog Bylaws in Squamish, please contact Animal Control.

BTW...if your dog can't recall off another dog, bike, jogger, child...please feel free to join one of my classes!

cheers,

Kate
