Puppy Class is Not Boot Camp — It Should Be FUN!

Dog Talk ® (and Kitties Too!)

#913B: Dog trainer Annie Phenix [of ChooseToTrainHumane.com] sympathizes with Tracie’s concern that the puppy classes she has tried with her young Viszla, Sky, have had a joyless, even harsh, atmosphere. Annie explains why lessons should be about building trust, safety, confidence, resilience and JOY! which matter so much more to a young or new-to-you dog than “training.”
