New Puppy? New Dog? Teenage Terror? Learning Workshop
New Puppy? New Dog? Teenage Terror? Learning workshop will help you to prepare for the new addition to your family or help you to have an understanding of why adolescent dogs behave in the way they do. We will also discuss rescue dogs.
This workshop is for anyone who has just taken on a new dog or is thinking of getting one of any age from puppy to adult dog, Adolescent dog to a senior dog.
In this workshop we will teach you what you need to know about building a confident canine.
We will tell you about what behaviours to look out for, how to prevent problems, how to choose or select your new dog, and how to build confidence and resilience in your new dog and help them become a great family member.
Using a combination of slide shows, discussions, demos and practical hands-on work, we will guide you in what to do to develop the best relationship with your dog.
Facilitators: Tamasine Smith from Leadchanges Dog Behaviour and Naomi Farrow Paws 4 Training.
