Cage Training
The thought of confining a dog to cage can seem harsh and unnecessary to some owners. Introduced correctly, a cage can be one of the most useful pieces of equipment you purchase.
Chewing
One aspect of dog ownership that many owners worry about is chewing. However, this is a natural and necessary activity.
Children and Dogs
The essential requirement for a satisfactory, friendly, trusting relationship to be established with the children is that, the parents are totally involved in the dogs training, play and upbringing between the ages of 7 wks - 1 yr old.
Home Alone
Naturally, dogs are social creatures. This means that dogs who live in single pet households need to be taught how to cope with isolation.
Housetraining
Housetraining is all about the 3R’s: Routine, Relief and Reward. This can be a tricky time for both owners and pets, but with a little understanding it needn’t cause problems.
Recall
To be able to safely run your dog off lead, it is essential to teach him a good, reliable recall. Without a good recall your dog will be reduced to living his life on lead.
Rehoming Dogs with Cats
If you already have a cat and are interested in giving a home to one of our dogs, here is some information to help you.
