Training:
Who wants a dog which jumps
up and pushes small children over, who barks at the postman, or who growls
at every stranger it meets? Not many of us, and with society changing all
the time, we as dog owners are increasingly being made aware of our responsibilities,
some of them legal. These include cleaning up after our dogs, having them
under control when in public, and not allowing them to bother people around
us. In Northern
Ireland, dogs are required to wear licence tags at all times (except when
they are working). No longer is it acceptable to let dogs free-roam during
the day when we are out at work, even in country areas, and Councils will
charge for returning your dog if it is found out unsupervised.
Of course, sometimes owners only seek help when there is already a problem
with their dog. They may have adopted a rescue dog, which has come with ready-made
problems, such as separation anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Training
classes can help in such situations, athough some cases may require more
focussed one-to-one attention. If you have a dog with a specific problem,
be honest about it and discuss this with the class trainer when you come to
the class. It is likely that they will have seen just the same problem before,
and will find strategies for you to address the unwanted behaviours.
