Teddy’s Training Tip: Teach your dog to sit when being greeted by family, friends, children, ETC. 

Teddy’s Training Tip: Firework night – walk your dog earlier during the day before the fireworks start. Close windows and curtains and turn up the TV to mask the sound of fireworks. Comfort your dog as this may help them to relax.  As firework night approaches Teddy’s Top Training Tip is to help all dogs

Teddy’s Training Tip: A training session should last approximately five minutes a day to retain your dog’s attention. It ties in with the training schedule everyone has been sent for holiday training (training/agility group – who ever likes and shares it first gets a treat bag for their dog at Saturday’s class).

Teddy’s Training Tip: The lead is an important management and training tool as it keeps your dog safe.  For all you bikers – Teddy’s picture and more importantly his top training tip for Thursday. Leads are so very important. Way to go Ted!

Teddy’s Training Tip: Training is supposed to be fun for all involved – always end on a positive.

Teddy’s Training Tip: Teach your dog to settle on a bed/mat/towel/blanket, as this helps when you visit friends, holiday locations and days out. They will then have a safe place to go and relax. 

Teddy’s Training Tip: Give your dog something to do when he/she is left on his/her own – stuff a kong with tasty food or an activity feeder. 

Teddy’s Training Tip: Practise calling your dog back several times when on a walk. Hold onto his/her collar so that he/she does not anticipate the walk ending.
