Auburnmist Training
Drop-In Handling Class
As of August 26, 2024, I decided to retire from teaching Handling Classes. After nearly 30 years, it was time to hang up my teaching hat, and enjoy my Monday evenings.
thank you to all who have attended my classes over the years, it was a pleasure to work with you and see you blossom in the show ring!
Thank you for understanding, I look forward to seeing you soon at a dog show somewhere!
FAQs
Choosing a dog trainer?
It's important to work with a trainer that you are comfortable with. If you are not comfortable with his/her methodology chances are you won't follow through with the training. Your dog deserves the best from you, make sure you get the right inforamtion to train yourself and your dog. Auburnmist welcomes people to come and watch the classes we offer before signing up. If you would like to come watch, please contact us at at 403-969-7699 or by email.
Why Training is a Necessity?
Training is important so that your dog will listen to you, know the rules and for you to know what those rules are! Dogs are not born knowing how to behave, it's up to us as owners to educate them. You will find that most training is about training the owner so the owner can train the dog in between classes.
What's the Best Age for Training?
Training begins the first day a puppy comes home at 8 weeks. The best age to start any class is after the second set of vaccinations (usually at 11 or 12 weeks). At this age puppies absorb the new information and you can develop and nuture good behaviours more readily.
