Saturday 1-12-08 Dog Handling


Hello all its Brooke here!

In the meeting we watched a presentation of dog handling and body language. What this last meeting showed you will come in very handy when you start to volunteer in the shelter after the humane teen club. Aside form the presentation you got to practice taking out some of the dogs we have in our shelter. Even though I know that some of you had been around lots of dogs before I think it was a great practice to have with some of our shelter dogs. The shelter dogs can be very different then some of you dogs at home, the shelter environment is very stressful and can change the way a dog acts, so even though you may the best at handling you own dog, the shelter dogs can be very different, but I do know that practice makes perfect! I would love to hear about some of the things you guys learned about dog handling from meeting!
