Fun Fact Friday🤓

Did you know that blue eyes in dogs are caused by an absence of melanin pigment in the iris. As in humans, blue-eyed coloration results not from the presence of blue pigment, but rather from a lack of pigmentation.👀

🐾Fun Fact Friday🐾

👉exposing their bellies and other submissive gestures
👉limiting their strength and speed

Training Tip Tuesday🤓

A good social interaction will have natural pauses. Play without pauses is a mosh pit😳. You can help your dog to develop good social etiquette by encouraging the group to take a moment; you can call all members out of the group for reward, you can have the dogs sit or lie down, or you can take a super adorable photo op🥰

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday🐾

Did you know that dogs can benefit from just being around other dogs without direct interaction? 🐶 This helps dogs learn to be comfortable and relaxed around other dogs without the pressure to interact directly.

👉 Benefits of Passive Dog-to-Dog Socialization:

🐾 Reduces anxiety around other dogs
🐾 Teaches calm behaviour in shared spaces
🐾 Improves focus on their handler
🐾 Enhances overall social skills

Training Tip Tuesday 🤓 👉Teaching puppies and dogs to wait quietly with dignity for the door to open is a lovely skill. 👉This puppy was not instructed to do anything 👉He figured out that the door magically opens for quiet and settled puppies🤗 Love him ❤️

It’s Bark to School time! #norfolkcounty #positivedogtrainingworks #rewardbasedtraining #puppytraining #activedogsarehappydogs

Fun Fact Friday🎉 👉Interestingly French Bulldogs originated in England and were popularized in France 👉They are a brachycephalic breed which means they can over heat easily and are not well suited to intense exercise 👉They are popular among celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Lady Gaga

Training Tip Tuesday 🤓 Yes, you should pick your dog’s friends! You should match your dog to friends by temperament and play style. Is your dog a rugby player, a pace car, a wall flower or a poet? Knowing this helps you to recognize appropriate individuals to socialize with. It is an unrealistic expectation that all dogs should be friends. They should be able to pass one another with grace and dignity, but no, they don’t have to befriend every other dog. Stick to social engagements that are healthy for everyone involved🥰

Fun Fact Friday🤓 Springer Spaniels are high energy, great retrievers who are used to flush out game. This breed needs lots of activity and opportunities to ‘work.’ The spaniels origins can be traced back to the 17th century.

Training Tip Tuesday 🤓 How do you find a dog training facility that is the best fit for you? 1/ Go watch a class in session - do you feel comfortable with the methods being presented? Is the space clean? (Puppy classes should only be held in freshly disinfected spaces). 2/ Do the trainers seem knowledgeable, kind and respectful of with both the dogs and the humans? Are the trainers certified with an internationally recognized governing body such as the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers? 3/ Ask for referrals from your veterinarian or friends with dogs who have attended programs they have enjoyed.

It's starting to feel like summer!! Miss. Bohdi was all to happy to get on to the sports field today and hopes that she has new friends to join her this summer. There's only two spot left in our Intro to Agility class starting in a few weeks.... you might have to run faster than she is to save your spot: https://www.canadiancaninecollege.com/product/intro-to-agility-equipment-2/

Our Story

The best training outcomes occur when your dogs trust you as a team leader and can rely on your consistency. We have been developing our training programs for over 20 years and that experience lends itself beautifully to our daycare and boarding programs.
