Top Notch Kennels presents….
LEARNING TO LEAD
Understanding and
Implementing
Canine Leadership, to Promote Better
Behavior and a
Harmonious Relationship
Speaker: Lisa Moore, CPDT
Living with, understanding and training your dog is much more
enjoyable when you are an effective Leader. Unlike attaining
‘dominance’, learning to Lead is achieved through generosity, praise
and rewards, not physical correction or punishment. This seminar
conveys the essential points to becoming your dog’s Leader,
including defining, controlling and teaching your dog to ‘earn’ what
he considers positive reinforcers. Other specifics covered in this
discussion include:
-
Leading, training and even ‘correcting’ your
dog in a non-confrontational way
-
Why physical punishment backfires, and the
troubles that can arise when applying it
-
Growling: When is it ok? What does it
mean? What to do if your dog growls at you
-
Being a pack Leader – managing multiple dogs
and their behavior in the home
-
Building trust and living in harmony with
your canine friend
-
Leadership exercises and techniques: Easy to
apply, and fun for you and your dog
