Mirella and Badger I adopted Badger from the SPCA in January of this year. He is about 4 years old and the cutest wee creature ever! We have been to about 4 training sessions so far, and he is so eager to please and such a fast learner that I haven’t really had many issues, […]
We got Zeppelin in October 2016, when he was just 11 weeks old. He was a little rescue pup, with skin and weight problems, but the cutest thing ever! We’ve never had a large breed dog and needed to learn how to handle him and what is needed to get little Zeppelin happy and healthy. […]
One has to ask yourself the question why are you a club member? Speaking for myself I thought hard if I wanted to continue to be a member this year. Being almost 2 years at the club I have a dog that behaves well at home. I don’t intend taking her to shows as I […]
When I signed up for “dog training school” I had a vivid picture in my mind of what is should be like.At the end of “puppy kindergarten” this idea took a swing in an almost addictive direction.I just HAD TO do the puppy course and I could not wait to start.Now at the end of […]
Lucky and Cloë, our two exuberant Labradors love to ‘say hello’ to everybody they meet be it other people and dogs. Unfortunately both get so excited and out of control that most people prefer to steer clear of them. No interaction leads to more excitement, and more excitement leads to even less interaction. We were […]
I joined the puppy training five weeks ago with my German Shepherd puppy, Charlie. We have had a great time. The socialising session at the end of the training has been lots of fun for the puppies and they have all become quite comfortable with other dogs. The training has been relaxed and useful. We […]
As utmost amateurs in dog training, Pretoria Shepherd Dog Club made us feel at ease from the very first day. We had one thing in common… Love for dogs. We have learned so much in such a short time and believe it’s an ongoing journey. Sonstraaltjie is a much happier and more content dog since […]
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 […]
