Therapy Dog 1: Canine Good Neighbour Preparation.
Group Classes or Private Lessons
This advanced group class/private lesson is designed to prepare the handler and dog to be successful in the Canadian Kennel Club Canine Good Neighbour Program https://www.ckc.ca/en/Raising-My-Dog/Responsible-Ownership/Canine-Good-Neighbour-Program. The preparation will focus on strengthening friendly, attentive, and willing behaviours in everyday situations. Positive reinforcement training techniques including food rewards, praise, cue words, and hand signals will be used to guide the human-dog teams in learning to communicate with each other. All this, in a stress-free environment designed to be fun for you and your dog.
