Terrier Tactics
Let’s get it right from the get-go….TERRIERS ARE AWESOME! If you love terriers, you already know that they are fabulous, fierce, and sometimes fiendish! This class will enhance your life and your dog’s by providing a means of effective relationship building and learning how to better communicate. Humans and canines can co-exist because both species have worked to find a common ground for living, playing, and learning together. Terriers add some challenges when it comes to canine-human interactions because they are confident that they should be the bosses. Learn training tactics well-founded on how terriers think and learn. The class size is small; only 5 dogs, to ensure a great time for dogs and people. All terrier breeds and mixed terriers are welcome. NOT APPROPRIATE FOR REACTIVE-DOG AGGRESSIVE terriers.
