Karen did such a great job with Cole after Manners B class today! He went NUTS with the wind and water at the boat launch and was out of control doing spins and flips and dragging poor Karen into the straight!!!! so after class she set him up in a down in proximity to the water for big rewards to just practice anything calm-ish and it went spectacularly!!!! #doggydetailtraining #vallejodogtrainingclub #akcobedienceclub #blacklab #akc #clickertraining #settle #down

Did you know that VDTC was one of the first Bay Area AKC Obedience Clubs to make the switch to positive reinforcement methods from the old school prong collar yank and crank methods? We made that switch in 2004 and put a padlock the door to using pain and punishment to teach dogs! #vallejodogtrainingclub #clickertrainjng #positivereinforcementtraining #treattraining #nopain
