I have been training and trialing with my Golden Retrievers under the Eden Kennel prefix since 1998. For 25 years I had been an active member of the NKC and for a number of years, I volunteered my services as a Training Instructor and Training Director in charge of implementing, scheduling and the overall running of the NKC's Obedience Classes. I have also taught classes for Pure Gold Dog Sports a

nd I am now sole owner of First Things First Dog Training and provide classes at the Callander Canine Centre . I am a home town dog trainer who has had a fair amount of success in the sport of dogs and given my roots I still feel that every dog deserves to be trained respectfully and every owner deserves to have quality dog training instruction at affordable and reasonable prices.

Puppy play is so important in building confidence and engagement. Some excellent advice here

One popular topic in Puppy Preschool is how to deal with your puppy getting things they shouldn't have. In class, we first teach them to trade, then to drop items on cue. I also find it helpful to not always take a toy your puppy brings you and throw it. Sometimes puppies just want to show off their toy, so praise them and pet them and admire it while they hang onto it. Now if your puppy wants you to throw it because they love chasing it, go for it! They will probably be spitting the toy out at you begging you to throw it. Playing tug with tiny tugs encourages your puppy to approach you with their toy again, to give you another chance at it. Trusting you with items helps prevent your puppy running away with found treasures to hide under the table or bed.
