🐾Announcement🐾
We are hosting our first group class!!
Say hello to Intro to Cooperative Handling! This class will give you the foundational skills to handle your dog better for at home grooming, as well as helping to make vet visits/procedures and grooming a little less scary and a little more predictable.
These classes will be every Tuesday starting October 22nd and ending November 19th. Class will be held from 6-7pm in the training room of White Haven Vet Hospital.
There are only 4 participants that will fit in this class, however if I get enough interest I do have the space to open up a Monday night class.
Registration opens next week! So if this is a class you’d like to take or would be interested in, sign up for our email list so you can be the first to know when registration opens up!

Accurate. Perfectly stated.

"The more you know, the more you realize you don't know"

Each new piece of information (or piece of the puzzle) uncovers new fresh paths to explore.🤓

After years of studying and years of practical experience and spending a fortune on gaining knowledge, I am still learning and evolving which I hope will never stop. This made me update this cartoon of mine. It's an ongoing process☺️

Understanding and influencing behaviour can be complex. So many influences on behaviour can be at play. Never stop learning.

Dogs are complex mammals (just like humans; you'll be amazed how many similarities there are, but of course there are many differences too).

Each dog is a unique individual and there can be many factors influencing behaviour.

The Center for Canine Behavior Studies recently launched the Be Bite Smart educational initiative which aims to reduce the risk of dog bites for 3-5-year-old children, their parents, and the general public.

Be Bite Smart recently released a video series, Paws to Prevent, and color sheets that reinforce each lesson.

You can view and download all of the free resources available from Be BiteSmart on their website.

Wow. Please don’t ever sign an agreement like this with a trainer or training company - or ANY service company for that matter.

If your trainer is censoring how you speak publicly about them and the quality and outcomes of their services, you shouldn't hire them.

Courteous Canines is partnering with Lily's House to offer a 6-week Canine Connection Class beginning
Sunday, March 17 from 4 - 5pm
Location: Lily’s House 10 Golf Course Road Berwick, PA 18603
Register: Contact Lily’s House at 570-759-7010 or [email protected], or click here: https://lilyshouse.portal.gingrapp.com/ #/public/login

This 6-week course focuses on improving your ability to communicate with your dog so that you both experience early and frequent training successes. We know that learning to communicate efficiently with your dog is a skill, and skills take time, practice and good coaching to develop. This is why our class exercises are broken down into smaller and more achievable tasks with clearly stated goals.

The foundation skills covered in this class are: sit, down, stand, automatic sit, stay, hand targeting, recall and heeling. While it may seem that these exercises are unrelated to other behavior problems you see in your dog, learning the skill of communicating with your dog will give you the necessary foundation for resolving almost any behavior problem!

Each class builds on the previous week's material so it's important that you attend every class. If you must miss class for any reason, the exercises you missed will be reviewed at the start of the next class.
This class is appropriate for all abilities, ages and breeds.

*Not appropriate for intense, reactive or aggressive dogs*

Class requirements: Sign our training agreement and provide proof of immunizations (Rabies, DHLPP, & Bordetella vaccines) prior to the first class.

Trigger warning ‼️

This dog was very clear in communicating its discomfort. Maybe nobody ever taught the adults in the room how dogs communicate. If they don’t know what to look for, there’s no way this poor child will know.

Can you imagine being the dog? Or can you imagine the little girl being an adult and the dog being your child?

Consent matters! Being forced or coerced to stay to avoid punishment or earn treats or praise is not the same as choosing to stay. Huge difference.
