WORKSHOP: Family Training Games for the Holidays

Welcome to Family Training Games for the Holidays!

Be ready for an evening of fun and giggles, while at the same time gaining memorable and useful insights into the power of clicker training!

We will play a selection of fun clicker training games and tricks, and experiment with some mental stimulation games for your dog to be kept busy with for the holidays.

You will sharpen your shaping skills and have fun at the same time! See and experience other trainers' decision points, and learn to be aware of how you can change your own technique. Be free to experiment with no consequences for making mistakes! Even experiment with making mistakes and see what happens!!

Maybe most valuable of all, experience the training process from the dog's point of view - a highly illuminating experience!

Clicker training games also help us get rid of the habit of blaming training problems on the dog, instead of on the training contingencies, where it belongs.

Location: Cowichan Canine Training Centre
106-5301 Chaster Road, Duncan

What Clients Are Saying:

Hello Cowichan Canine Team! My Kooikerhondje, Buddy, and I have just completed the beginner Foundation training course. The whole process has been fantastic. Buddy is a very smart (of course) and overenthusiastic pup. My goal with him was to nip problems in the bud (pardon the pun:) to start on a path to a positive and calm relationship. We had the privilege of learning under Jody, Karen and Lisbeth in Prep school. All had different styles but their methods were consistent, positive, sound and they work! Buddy and I then moved on to Beginner Foundation under Stephanie's tutelage. Her guidance was patient, kind and empathetic. I was the slower learner, but Stephanie showed me what Buddy was capable of and gave me the knowledge,tools and insight to meet my goals. The facility is top-class, well-equipped, spotless and safe. Learning at Cowichan Canine was the most enriching investment I could have made and I hope to continue in various activities in the future. Thank you all!

Hi there, Ed and I are doing pretty good. The vet is tackling his some health issues and Ed seems to be much happier overall with summer being here. He's even willing to roll on his back and let me rub his tummy now which I think is a good sign of our improved relationship. Anyone I talk to about Ed gets a big recommendation from me regarding Cowichan Canine. I sing your praises every chance I get since I know that I would be in a pretty bad situation without your help every step of Ed's development. Thanks so much for all the education that I needed and all of the fun times as well
