Dog Works Training Centers: Sunday, A day of rest?

February 21, 2011

Dog Works Training Centers – Daily Agenda

 

SUNDAY:

Ahhhh finaly a day of rest.

  • Sundays are quiet days
  • Camp Dogs practice stays, fetch games and spending quiet time laying by our sides
  • Sunday is virtually a day off from major training so the dogs can relax and enjoy themselves.

TIPS/TRICKS: Your pup/dog needs a day off too – Sundays are great days because we’re usually lazy too!

 


Dog Works Training Centers: Saturday! Saturday!

February 21, 2011

SATURDAY:

Saturdays are jammed packed with lots of visitors, classes, and challenging activities.

  • We always get an early start on Saturdays
  • Camp Dogs are taken on a brisk morning walk, sometimes a jog
  • Classes and visitors begin rolling in around 9am and continue throughout the day until 6pm
  • Camp Dog participate in group classes as well as individual classes and they are worked by student (adults) volunteers so that they are socialized around others

TIPS/TRICKS: Socializing your puppy/dog should include visiting and being handled by other people as well as going to new environments. Socializing doesn’t just mean playing around with other dogs.

 


Dog Works Training Centers: TGIF

February 21, 2011

TGIF – FRIDAY:

Friday’s are fun days at camp.  We try new commands and learn a trick or two.

  • Met with new clients Oliver and Bella – Bella will be joining Camp Works while Oliver is participating in private lessons
  • Had a great training session with Diane, Rosco and Aussie’s owner – they’ve been home for one week after Puppy Camp Works 2 – the pups are doing fairly well, and after an hour and a half training session I believe Diane feels much better about the training progress
  • Evening – I headed to an in home in Golden with a golden retriever named Will

TIPS/TRICKS: Puppies all learn at different rates.  The breed really has little to do with it.  Each puppy takes to his surroundings and processes what’s being communicated differently.  Remember they are young and in order to learn training should be kept short and fun.
