'In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to
train him to be semi human. The trick is to open oneself to the possibility of
becoming partly a dog.'
Edward Hoagland
Training is the underpinning
of any successful human dog relationship. Consistent and enlightened dog training
from day one of the partnership will greatly reduce the likelihood of
behavioural problems in your dog later on. Training cannot begin too early, a
six week old puppy is at it's optimum learning capacity and through play and
reward will easily absorb the vital lessons for a safe and happy adult life.
