Her approach is based on establishing a really strong, mutually beneficial relationship between humans and dogs.Ĭarrie taught us that our job as dog owners is to give our dogs stimulation and activity and boundaries and love. Our trainer’s name is Carrie Rottaris, and she runs The Canine Bond in Hamilton, Ontario. While treat training didn’t feel like a fit for us, I didn’t actively go looking for a trainer who didn’t use treats. The amount of treats the dogs ate in that class was insane!” I came home and said to my husband, Matt, “We’re not going to be able to feed him on class day. Every owner was giving commands and then handing out treats. All of the owners and dogs were ranged around the perimeter with trainers in the middle calling out instructions or moving around helping people with their dogs. One of the classes I attended was a pretty typical training set-up. I visited various trainers and sat in on several classes-something I wholeheartedly recommend when you’re looking for a trainer. We weren’t sure how much training he would have when he came to our family and we also thought training would be a good way to build our bond. Even though we weren’t adopting a puppy (Bax was 3 when he joined our family), we knew we wanted to do a training class right away. Before we adopted Baxter we started looking for a dog trainer.
