Thus I took time out and went to study! I went to SOUTH AFRICA to do an instructor’s course through S.A. DOG TRAINING COLLEGE & KENNELS. Christine, Chris and their family are amazing people, their dedication to educating people is out of this world .The best part is there is never a “ no.” Any behavior is dealt with, and positive results attained. I am very glad I made the right choice of going and studying with them.

I completed an instructor’s course in puppies and basic home obedience and also attended a two day training seminar in tellington touch. [www.ttouch.com]

A good instructor is someone who understands different breeds and their origin and is a bridge between the dog and his human counterpart. An instructor should be able to assess the dog, physiologically & ethologically and treat the dog accordingly. Force is not an option at all! An instructor should be able to communicate well enough for the handler to understand his/her dog. They must be able to understand the handler and family they are dealing with, because that is the key to sorting out behavioral and obedience problems. Most of all, and instructor must possess a good sense of humor otherwise they are going to stress, thereby compounding the problems the dog and handler are having.

It is very important for your pup to have a secure puppyhood, which results in having a stable adult dog. The importance of the imprinting age can not be underestimated. You find the cause and you will be able to fix the problem. Most behavioural problems are caused because of a negative experience during puppyhood.

Owners of pups make many mistakes without being aware of this, thereby compounding problems. A good instructor will teach you not to make these mistakes which will result in a happier adjustment for both pup and owner.

This is essential if you would like to have a well adjusted dog that fits satisfactorily into the family.

Basic Obedience is taught to your dog so that he/she will respond to commands given by the owner, thereby making it easier for the family to control the dog.

A well behaved dog is a pleasure to have around at any time, let me help you to achieve this.

The key factor to understanding human- dog relationships is to build and enhance the proper bond with your dog! Once you know the fundamentals of puppy behaviour and human- dog relationship...you can go on to teach the dog anything.

In a city like ours it’s a must to understand puppies and their human companions, which is not really done in India.

Your passion for training and dogs is admirable and will see you go from strength to strength. I am sure that you will be a force to be reckoned with in your country and internationally, in the future.
