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.

Louie and I just completed the Puppy Start Right program with Stef at Cowichan Canine, and what a fabulous experience. PSR covers all the basics, with carefully curated play sessions, exposure to various sounds and things from our human world, training tips, and lots of practical advice. Stef is kind and very experienced and has helped me to remember that these crazy first months of puppyhood - with the constant vigilance, all the peeing and biting, and the early wakeup calls - will pass, and is just part of the journey to a well-trained socialized dog. I will always remember how Louie passed out in the car on the way home from class: happy, tired and snoring ever so slightly. Thanks Stef, I cannot imagine doing this without Cowichan Canine.

Wanting to be new dog owners, we got 16 weeks old puppy, named Pepper.
Shortly after bringing Pepper home, she was attacked by much larger dog and
seriously injured.
After consultation with the vet, we came to understanding that Pepper maybe
traumatized by the horrible experience.
We soon realized this was the case, Pepper was scared of other dogs and continuously barking.
We contacted Lisbeth at Cowichan canine, who came to our home and gave us one on one lessons.
We found Lisbeth to be very knowledgeable , professional and patient with novice dog owners.
Lisbeth invited us to the Cowichan canine facility, where we were introduced to the staff and
other dog owners.
Being so impressed with the dedication of the staff and variety of classes, we enrolled Pepper
immediately.
Whenever we have any concerns or questions, Lisbeth is always quick to respond.
Pepper became much calmer dog after reactive dog classes, so I am enjoying walking with her.
To Lisbeth and the stuff, Thank you for everything.
