K9 Manners Class - Pre Course Reading
​
​
Humane - Holistic - Relationship Based Training
In school when we were studying animal anatomy & physiology, they had us buy human anatomy & physiology textbooks!
The point being that dogs are more like people than most people realize.
Lets take a moment and think about what kids need grow up to be responsible adults. Well, they need to go to school right?
But, just going to school isn't enough to group up to be a responsible and healthy adult.
Think for a second about some of the things a child needs to succeed and focus in school.
​
1. Enough sleep
2. Proper nutrition for energy and mental clarity
3. Exercise so they can burn their energy and restlessness
4. Structure to know what is expected of them
5. Socialization to feel loved, important and supported
6. Doctors visits and preventative care so they don't get sick
7. To practice what they're learning in school so they can really learn it
8. Breaks - so they have time to just be a kid
AND SO MUCH MORE...

GUESS WHAT????
DOGS NEED THE SAME THINGS!!!
​
Is your dog getting everything they need to be at their best behavior?
