Busy Busy Busy

We have been very busy up here at the training centre so I thought I'd scribble a few of the more interesting bits down for you.
 
Firstly we still haven't congratulated the guys from Fuengirola who were the very first people outside the UK to have achieved their Dog House Bronze award!!! Followed very closely by the Almogia gang!!
This is special because we have now improved our award scheme, it is based on the progression of having a happy, well behaved dog. We have taken elements from all aspects of dog training to create one of the most impressive curriculum to put your dog through.

Puppy Bites.

No matter how many times you have raised a puppy it is very easy to forget how hard it is to do properly.
Your new found friend needs a lot of guidance in the first few weeks of his life and if he doesn't get the correct guidance this can end up with the poor little fella being rehomed through no fault of his own. It isn't unheard of even for some dog trainers to get themselves in such a state that they forget what they do for a living and the information they give out to customers on a weekly basis and end up needing help.

Loyalty

There is a lot to be said for the dogs in our lives. When others around you are letting you down you can always rely on your best friend to keep a smile on your face.
 
So with this incredible loyalty what is the biggest killer of dogs in the western world?
 
Parvo? Puppy farmers? Road traffic accidents?
 
 Nope. Behaviour and not always bad behaviour.
 
Dogs are put to sleep every day because they have broken the rules one to many times, yet they don't know your rules unless you teach them.
