Kids can train too!

Did you know that kids can train too as early as 3 years old?

We recommend that you have each command such as sit, down, come, etc established before bringing in the kids to "help". Once the command is understood, show the child how you perform each command and to say the command only once. We recommend the parents have the clicker while the child is doing the command. It's easier and that way you as the parents/adult can "hit" the action with the clicker when it happens without any delay. It is obviously too much for the child to work the clicker, say the command, and hold the treat.

We are looking at incorporating a kids and dogs class here at Paws Inn Resort, but would like to make sure we have the interest in a class like this. If you would be interested in having your kids work with your dog(s), please call us at 952-353-8006 or email us at pawsinnresort@frontiernet.net to let us know. We will keep you all posted with the verdict and when we can incorporate this class into our training schedule.
