Why join our training classes in Fleet, Hampshire?
Dog training is vital for the happiness of your pet and everyone in your household. It's best to start as early as possible, although it's a myth that 'old dogs can't learn new tricks'.
Many people during the pandemic said they didn't think enough about buying a dog before welcoming them to their family. However, dog ownership ballooned during this time. The UK's canine population surged from around nine million to more than 12 million between 2019 and 2021. This included a large number of inexperienced first-time owners buying a puppy.
Neglecting training is one of the biggest mistakes you can make if you become a new dog owner.
Using kind, non-dominance based techniques, Canine Kids can help make training fun, enjoyable and effective.
