SEMINAR: Safe Dog Play
Have you considered taking your dog to a dog park, but aren't sure if you should? Are dog parks safe? Are you sometimes not quite sure if your dog should be meeting that other dog or not? If they are playing appropriately, or not? What happens when my dog meets the "wrong" dog? What should I do?
The safety and enjoyment of dog-dog interactions depend on one thing - owner education.
This presentation will help you learn how to recognize red flags and when to step in and help your dog out of a risky situation. It includes live-action video clips to illustrate not only different canine communications, but also show the speed at which these things can change. You will learn how to be a better observer of your dog and to improve your understanding of your dog. The presentation is followed by a Q & A session.
"Safe Dog Play" is recommended for all dog owners!
THIS IS AN ONLINE EVENT VIA ZOOM

I don’t know if you remember Poppy but she was the small terrier that I did private training one on one to help her get over her fear of dogs. Well she is 13 months old now and loves meeting new dogs, she can’t get enough of it. She goes to doggie daycare on Saturdays because I have a long work shift and loves going there so she can play with all the other dogs.
Anyways, I thought you would like to hear a good success story!

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.
