Dog Training and Relationship Building - Milton Dog Trainer

I adore working with Brandy. Do we make mistakes? Of course, no dog or person is perfect (her come to fronts leave something to be desired) ... but if you enjoy your time together, work on the mistakes and learn from them, you build your relationship to a much higher level. This is just a little fun we had together working on Heel, Give and Centre, and she loves every minute of it, even at 11 years old.

Small Dogs Can Heel Too! Milton Ontario Dog Training

There is a misconception that small dogs do not need to be trained. This is so far from the truth that it's scary.

A trained dog is a happier dog. A trained dog is a dog that can take part in more family activities. A trained dog is easier to live with and a pleasure to be around no matter what the size.

And small dogs are no exception. Often times we see trainers with demo or competition dogs, being the usual german shepherds, labrador retrievers, border collies, malinois etc. I don't fit in that picture. My demo dog is a 13lb Jack Russell Terrier who can work with the best of them. If you think it isn't possible for little dogs to "work", think again.

Small dogs enjoy using their minds and being trained just as much as the big guys do, so please don't deprive your small breed from learning his or her basic manners, obedience or maybe even beyond.

This is a video of my JRT being put through her paces in a low distraction environment. Proof that small dogs can do just as good as the big guys and are just as happy to have a "job" to do.
