Leadership Day
The Canine Leadership Day
Whats it all about?
Simply put we want everyone to learn the Canine Coaching Leadership Program. This one day event is going to be packed full full of information and demonstrations of Leadership.
Who is the day aimed at?
This day is for everyone that loves dogs. If you are just thinking of getting a dog then this is for you. It is for Vets, Nurses, dog groomers and anyone that works in the Canine Industry.
When and Where is it?
We are holding the Leadership day on Saturday 27th March 2010 at Lodge farm Gun Club, Castlethorpe, Milton Keynes, MK19 7ES. It will be starting at 10am and runs all day until 3pm.
What will happen on the day?
We are giving people a chance to come along with thier dogs and either watch and learn from the demonstration or even be a part of the demo and work with Paul on a One to One basis. The things we will be working on and showing will be:
How the Leader Controls The Resources. Just as parents control allowance, curfew and use of the car, you should control all the "good stuff" when it comes to your dog. Start with food and play:
Food is an incredibly valuable resource. As such, it should come from you, not from that round thing that is always magically full! For dogs with severe leadership issues or to kick-start your program, hand-feed meals (a few pieces at a time) for two weeks. Have your dog sit, shake, or down to get each handful of food.
Control toys and games. Leave your dog with a few toys and food.
Putting Your Dog on a Learn to Earn Program.That means he must do something for you in order to earn anything that is valuable to him. If your dog wants to be petted, ask him to sit first. If he's already sitting, ask him to lie down. Then pet. Have him sit (or do another behavior he knows) before meals, treats, walks, tossing the ball, and anything else he finds valuable.
Control the Space. If your dog zigzags in front as you walk, crowds you as you sit, or otherwise intrudes on your space, that's not very polite! Leaders control space.We are going to teach you how to walk your dog in a proper manner.
Training.We are going to show some basic obedience exercises so you can incorporate them into your everyday life. Down-stays are especially good for establishing leadership.
Handling. We are going to show and teach your dog to accept handling. Do daily massage, including paws, ears and mouth. This practice also makes for easier groomer/veterinary visits and alerts you to any physical abnormalities. (If your dog has issues about being handled, address them with a trainer's help.)
Most of all the day is about showing you that good leaders are not bullies!
