Train my puppy
without a leash? |
|
While
any trainer understands that the average pet dog owner is mostly
concerned with housetraining and manners, these are not the only
urgent issues in puppy class. The two most urgent issues, the
issues that can mean life or death later, are bite
inhibition and socialization.
Both of these issues
REQUIRE
lots and lots of off-leash play with other dogs and handling by
everyone in the class. |
|
To focus on on-leash training while ignoring off-leash play is to put the
cart before the horse. Of course it’s important for puppies to
learn manners and for owners to learn how to train their pups.
But what good is it to end up with an adolescent dog who walks
nicely on leash but is inappropriate with other dogs, will do
damage should he ever feel the need to bite someone and often
feels the need to bite someone because he hasn’t been handled
by anyone but his family ?

Not
a pup anymore?
Our
philosophy here at WAGS is that you actually CAN teach an older
dog new tricks... it just might take a bit longer.
So we offer classes that will get your "older
pup" under control too.
The
training methods we teach convince your dog that she wants to do
what you ask simply because it's what you want rather than fear
a punishment. |
