Two Day Seminar. "Myth vs Reality" What is natural behavior. Equating
socialization with sociable is is the pitfall since socialization refers
only to interacting in social activities…social means friendly. Well
socialized dogs are not always friendly. A better standard for
well-socialized would refer to appropriate social behavior and the
understanding that it is sometimes appropriate to deliver or to receive a
reprimand for social infractions. "Setting Up Growl Classes" the format,
liability, equipment and training exercises. "Determining the Program"
devotes time to the assessment and demonstration of the training exercise
for the dogs. Hermitage, PA. |
