Discussions are always better than arguments

 How is your training sessions like? Is it more an argument, 'fighting' with your dog or is it more a discussion on the learning processes? The argument makes you defensive and always wanted to be right, but the discussion or conversation promotes feedbacks and review thus making training more eventful.

Our daily training routine should be a discussion or conversational, allowing our learners to participate in the process fully.

Check out our Train Your Dog Podcast on The Clicker Training and it's Benefits, discuss on this great tool and how clicker can help in your training processes.

Different Strokes For Different Folks

In our previous blog post, we discuss the topic of different strokes for different folks. Knowing everyone has a different tick, and once you discover, you will be empowered to manage your animal.

Have you ever wonder what's Obedience Classes about? Is it necessary to bring my puppy for training? Obedience is all about having fun with your puppy. Creating games to ensure all skillset to workaround our routine such as house rules.
