This is a photo of our very first training
group, they attended our pilot course held at Castle Park Rugby
Club Doncaster. July 27th - August 13th 2009
This course ran for three
weeks, bi- weekly and covered, Heelwork, Sit, Down, Stay, Wait,
Leave it, Door & Stair Manners, Recall, general good manners
meeting people and other dogs etc. The first evening was attended
by the handlers without their dogs and began with a presentation
by each trainer, Brians subject was dog psychology and the NILIF
programme, Sue covered canine language and calming signals and Gav
demonstrated clicker training with his Rottweiller Anja. On the
last night we had fun and games, musical sits and downs, timed recall
races and Rally 'O', the group left with smiles on their faces and
happy dogs, clutching their prizes and attendance certificate. We
were also please to welcome, Adrian from Trophy Pet Foods, Emma
from Spittlehouse Vets and Melissa who is training with COAPE, Thank
you for your help you three.
