Introducing the Stouffville Dog Training Meet Up Group

Sonic and I are always on the look-out for dog training buddies to keep us on task, otherwise we just wander off to sniff the flowers or chase the squirrels.  The Stouffville Dog Training Meet Up Group lives on Facebook, but if you hate fb I may be willing to keep you in the loop through email.

What we do is meet-up in public places and train our dogs.  Mostly, you train your way, I train my way, and we can co-operate to create distractions, or work at whatever we are interested in.

To Join:  Stouffville Dog Training Meet Up Group
 

Description

This is a dog training self-study group to meet up and practice training our dogs open to anyone who wants some extra practice time outside of lessons or organized activities. As study buddies we make ourselves available to create distractions or work in pairs. We meet outdoors, show up with your dog, equipment you normally use, leash or long-line required, and a plan. This is a self-study group; there will be no instruction. All training styles welcome. Work on obedience, tricks, basic manners, etc... As a courtesy to other study group handlers, please do not allow your dog to meet any of the participants unless invited (they might not appreciate a strange dog walking up to them) and please maintain control of your dog for the safety and comfort of all.
