Puppy Referral:
Karen Brittan We generally meet the first Thursday evening of each month, September-June. Come and join us! Our
program is the video, “Bonnie Bergin's Training Camp”. Dog
trainer Bonnie Bergin, host of the PBS program “You and Your Great
Dog”, presents an entertaining and highly informative training
course in this video. Bergin begins by presenting lessons on a dog's
early development, with a particular emphasis on how a puppy learns
appropriate behavior. It's important, Bergin notes, to teach a pup
when it is still young and impressionable so that many later problems
can be entirely prevented. Simple yet fairly detailed lessons that
master and dog can practice are provided throughout this video, and
Bergin offers good explanations of particular points that should be
stressed to get the dog to learn quickly. Proceeding through puppy
training to lessons intended for mature dogs, Bergin tackles thorny
problems, such as how to break up fighting dogs and how to resort to
physical force with a dog. Bergin eventually illustrates a full set
of commands an individual can teach their dog, and someone who works
through the exercises with a dog should find the lessons not only
easy to follow, but productive.
