Introduction
to Positive Training (IPT) is held every week on Thursdays (7pm-8:30pm)
and Saturdays (1pm-2:30pm). It is required for all of our classes at
All Fur Fun that you attend this 1-2 hour long talk. It’s a human only
pow-wow where head instructor Paula Weir teaches you about the primary
methods employed here, as well as determines a more personal plan of
action for you and your dog.This is the opportunity to explain to us what sorts of things you know and have been told about training and working with your dog, as well as asking any questions you might have. We will teach you about clicker training, free shaping, positive reinforcement (rewarding the dog), and negative punishment (removing the reward). You will learn why there are certain methods we NEVER use in order to help our dogs understand the things we want from them.
It is also a wonderful chance for you to explain the main concerns you have with your dog, or to ask about the various classes, events, and workshops that are happening here. IPT is designed to help you hit the ground running, but most importantly, start off on the right foot.
