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:

We have taken two dogs through Puppy Playgroup & Foundation. We are so pleased with how socialized our dogs are and well behaved. The methods that the trainers use at Cowichan Canine are amazing and we have to admit when we first started we didn’t think it would work with Siberian Huskies, not only did it work but one graduated with honours and the other was pretty darn close! Far exceeded our expectations of when we started the course. The Foundation class with Stephanie was absolutely brilliant and the dogs adored her. She was a wizard in convincing our very stubborn girl to actually want to play to learn! We wished they offered an advanced Foundation class to keep us coming back! We have signed up for the beginners scent detection so we are very excited to start a new chapter with our girls J January 20, 2018

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.
