Fudge het so suutjies op ‘n gewone dag midde-in ‘n hittegolf in ons lewe gekom. Die vuil, verboureerde bruin brak, tou te styf om die nek. Pootjies deurgeloop, lyfie vol seerplekke netso in die straat laat lê “om te leer”. Gelukkig stop my vriendin en haar man, neem terstond die brak by die boemelaar af. […]
I initially brought Nuada (my 2 y.o. male German Spitz Klein) to the Pretoria Shepherd Dog Club for socialisation; he had been attacked by a larger dog and was becoming increasingly anxious and aggressive towards other dogs. I started him at the club in January 2015, nervous and unsure what to expect. Within a month […]
We started at the Pretoria Shepherd Dog Club in June 2014 with our two gorgeous Border Collie puppies that were just 6 months old and full of mischief, being brother and sister, we were told by many that we would encounter numerous problems when it came to training them. But 3 months down the line […]
WATCH THE LITTLE EYEBROWS! Reward-based training is just that – huge rewards for the trainer. Watching yur dog’s face light up when you move towards the dumbbell and lead; the buoyancy and joy in his step and yes, the smile on his face when he knows it is training time! Developing the relationship between you […]
In, January 2014, I became the proud owner of a 6 week old, female Sable German Shepherd puppy. I knew of the Pretoria German Shepherd Dog Club existence for a long time, being a club member of a neighbouring organisation in Menlo Park, and decided to join. We waited with great anticipation, so that Cindy […]
November last year I started at the club with an essentially feral puppy. No one, including me, could pet him and he was scared of everyone and everything (except other dogs). In the last few months he has really blossomed and one would swear I had switched him for his identical twin. He now greets […]
When we started puppy club at Pretoria shepherd dog club with our maverick, then 4 months old, my husband and I didn’t quite realise how much we all would benefit from the training and advice we would get from the training staff at the club. Maverick is just what his name implies: a maverick. Incredibly […]
I joined the Pretoria German Shepherd Dog Club in September 2012. Myself and Bruno enjoy the training thoroughly and when Saturday afternoon arrives, Bruno’s sixth sense alerts him that it is now time for training and he reminds me that he wants to go for training. All the instructors are friendly, helpful, dedicated and always […]
We have two adorable dogs (at least to us).Moscow and Chelsea.We got Moscow (a black Labrador) as a puppy in December 2010.He was until recently (just before he turned 2 years), very naughty.He ate up several cactuses in the garden, alarm cables, beams, trees, you name it…Fortunately he is now a bit bigger and we […]
Keira, a Belgian Malinois, joined our family at 12 weeks of age, which, I knew to be quite late to get a puppy as there are such vital development and training stages that happen between 8 and 12 weeks, this caused quite a bit of stress for me as I really wanted to bring this […]
