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.

Today I was paid the ultimate compliment by Lisbeth Plant, owner of Cowichan Canine. She said I had helped my puppy Daphne (now 6 months old) develop into a really nice young dog. I agree! But of course I could not have done it without the wonderful folks at Cowichan Canine: professional, caring, knowledgeable and a bonus - all with a great sense of humour! Lisbeth, Stephanie, Andrea, Glenda and Steph all continue to help me guide Daphne and I am so grateful for their help, knowledge and kindness and for occasionally talking me down from a proverbial cliff! How lucky we are here in the Cowichan valley to have access to a full spectrum of resources to help guide and develop our dogs into the best they can be! Let the learning (and fun) continue!

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.
