Strolling Hound Dog Classes in Ottawa

 
 
Your Approach

Think Like Your Dog
Put yourself into your dog’s place – try to think like a dog would.  How would you like your day to go?  How would you like to be treated?  What do you need to be happy and well adjusted?   You may find, you instinctively know what your dog would like.

Your Environment
Assess your lifestyle.  Where do you live?  How many are in your family?  How much time do you and your family have for your dog?  What are you looking for your pet to be?   What breed of dog fits your circumstances?

Be Honest With Yourself
Realistically and honestly consider your situation.  You will discover what breed of dog would suit you best and what kind of dog would be happiest with you.
My Philosophy

I believe that:
A dog must always be dealt with in a positive manner
A dog must have boundaries and rules
A dog must have plenty of physical exercise and get outside
A dog must receive enough mental exercise
A dog must be socialized with other dogs and with other people

Training must be consistent and followed by all  involved,
….the trainer does not live with the dog.

STROLLING HOUND’s philosophy produces both a happy and well adjusted dog which will bring years of pleasure to satisfied owners.
