Welcome to Dog Training, Pack Leader Style!
As a pack leader to the best pack of dogs in Surrey, I've designed my Pack leader training program to assist dog owners in finding their calm and assertive energy and confidence in knowing how to lead not just one dog but any number of dogs.
Our approach is grounded in the philosophy that dogs need structure, rules, boundaries, and plenty of time for fun and exercise. By creating an environment that prioritizes both learning and play, Doggy Doolil daycare helps dogs overcome issues related to grief, fear, and rage, turning those challenges into positive growth, while the owners learn great leadership qualities.
When should I start training my dog? Many new dog owners today don't realize that ‘right now’ is the time to start molding & shaping the behaviour you want in your dog. Puppies are just like a sponge… and they absorb and sometimes mimic everything they see or hear. So as soon as your pup comes into your home is the perfect time to show them how to fit into this new environment.
It’s a monkey see… monkey do thing. They love to be with you, as they are social creatures, so training them at the same time makes sense, as it is important that good habits are set early on, before he gets his own ideas. So the sooner the better. But be careful to overwhelm the pup and realize their focus and attention is not very long, and you don't want to turn them off from training. It should be fun and not too repetitious, but at first engaging and playful.
​
Communicating is essential in training a dog. We need to learn how to speak dog, just as much as they must learn our ways of communicating. Just as a submissive dog shows us how it feels and responds to others, we can show them, in turn how we feel and think as 'master' of our domain. But just as a dog makes his personal boundary known when meeting a new dog, especially a pup, we also need to know how to set our own boundaries with them when we first meet, and in their language, so to speak. So in essence, we need some training.
There is nothing more difficult than to unlearn our own bad behaviors. Most issues with dogs come from our lack of understanding how the dog sees us and what they will learn, if we aren't careful.
​
Knowing how to enforce these skills will be setting you up for success, and that is Priceless!
