training is fun for the whole family
The joy of raising a family dog should be a great family experience. One of the benefits of clicker training is that, with clear instruction and supervision, young family members can easily grasp what to do and can participate. This involvement and investment creates strong and healthy bonds with the family dog, and teaches children how to understand and communicate with their furry family member in a way that is kind, respectful, safe, and fun!
In this video submitted by KPA CTP Sam Haeussner, five-year-old Ira is helping train his family dogs Maleficent (“Mal”) and Azzie. As Ira and his dogs demonstrate, when kids and dogs learn how to understand and respect one another, they can build a bond that will last a lifetime!
