Stouffville Dog Training Meet-ups are casual self study sessions. If it's your first time out, or you are fairly new to dog training, it can be a little confusing to be standing around with your dog wondering what to do. Other members may be working on things that don't interest you, oe working at a distance, and may be busy with their own dog.
For this reason it's good to have a plan. On this page, I'll give pointers for getting together a training plan.
Jot down your goals, figure out how you can get there. If you need help with the basics, find a local group dog training class to get you started with the basics. Group members are familiar with local trainers & internet resources, so feel free to ask for recommendations.
It's always okay to ask for tips, be inspired by others, or suggest a group exercise.
It's always a great idea to let others know what you are working on, and what your goals are. Sometimes there are great group exercises we can work on together, and other times, distance is your friend and we can help with that too.
Below are some internet sources you can use to help you get started.
It's a work in progress for now, suggestions welcome.
