Our trainer, David Lyman, is a 30-year veteran clicker trainer who
realizes that the only
way these dogs will have a chance to stay in their new homes is if we
give the new family
all the tools they need to raise a "good dog." "One of the
major reasons that dogs are
abandoned in shelters is that families don't know how to train their
dogs to get the behavior
they expect. We feel that families will like and value their dogs more
if they are trained. We
also offer them fun tricks they can easily teach their dogs to show off
their new skills.
With clicker training, a dog can learn 52 different things to do in 1
year and put them together
in different sequences for an unlimited routine of behaviors. The dogs
are not dumb, we just
don't know how to tell them what we want them to do. This is how Hollywood
teaches animals. You can teach an old dog new tricks," stated David
Lyman to reporter Shelley Osterlow of KSL TV "OUR TOWN" in an
interview about our Puppy Graduation.
