Dog Training Schools

March 26th, 2008 | Dave | General Dog Training

A caution before you set out to attend your first dog training school … prepare for the worst. Who knows why it happens, but dogs seem to sense when they’re under pressure to behave, even when you’re a loving, positive-reinforcement owner. Once they sense the pressure, it’s almost as if they seem to mess up on purpose. And there certainly are plenty of opportunities are a dog training school.

So what can you do?

First, keep your dog on a short leash. There will be plenty of distractions … strangers, other dogs, new smells. You can never be sure how he’ll react in an environment with so much activity. He may appear to like the dog next to you one minute, and the next minute he’s starting to growl and prepare for combat. Second, and most important, is to relax. Try to enjoy yourself. If you’re tense, your dog will sense it and react in kind. So make it a fun outing for the both of you.
