Manners Matter, in People and Pets!





Puppy Manners Class, at the Dwight Community Centre, starting on March 4, 2010, with Muskoka Agility Dog's very own Lynda Yielding.


There is a sign-up and Information session at Pet Valu in Huntsville, 6.30 to 7.30 p.m. Feb 22. Then the classes start Mar. 4.

And then, starting Thursday evenings, the puppies come to mind their manners. Two sessions are on offer, with a maximum of 6 dogs per class. First session, 6 - 7 p.m.; second session 7.15 - 8.15.


The fee is $140


At the info session, you'll meet Lynda and be introduced to her training philosphy, bsed on behaviour development through clicker training and positive rewards. Understand your dog's threshold for training, and the principles of reward. You'll get a list of things to bring, including a variety of motivators and a mat and crate. It is important to understand that loose leash walking will be accomplished without choke or prong collars through this method.


A well trained dog is a joy for life!
