Animal Care


Canine Caretaking & Partnership Obedience Training
Employing the use of an instructor-written syllabus of compiles handouts as the content for instruction and discussion, this seminar involves all aspects of canine caretaking…including health, diet, grooming, successful animal-human bonding measures, identifying temperament in breeds and in individual dogs, structuring the home environment for house training and behavioral success, as well as instructing caretakers in basic handling techniques, utilizing non-force and reward-based methods such as applied operant conditioning, (clicker training).  The seminar is intended to be both informational and content oriented, as well as “hand-on” to provide a setting for puppy socialization and basic dog training that involves the creation of partnership relationships between dogs and its human caretaker.

The seminar is intended for new canine caretakers with puppies between the ages of 12 to 20 weeks of age.  First class will be an orientation with no dogs allowed where proof of vaccinations must be shown and a $20 materials fee (cash only) for handouts will be collected by the instructor.
