The Four Laws of Dog Training

The following are the Four Laws of Dog Training. Please note that these laws are to be taken and used in order. It is important that this is so, as each one affects the other in a particular way. As you begin to understand the laws you will see that this is so.

It is important to understand that dogs do not know about the four laws, yet they obey them. This is due to the fact that the laws were made due to the basic nature of dogs and their desires. The laws seem simple, and have been made with reduction in mind in order to both make them easy to recall and easy to implement.

If, after reading the laws, you find yourself with questions, please don't hesitate to contact us for a more detailed explanation and, if your are able to visit, a demonstration.

A "Basic" Explanation of The Four Laws

For a more comprehensive explanation, please come in to chat

and we will be more than willing to explain and demonstrate

Law 1 (All things must be from the dogs point of view) refers to a dogs lesser capacity to understand another's point of view, see internet for study on "Theory of Mind in Animals." As a dog has a lesser capacity, the handlers point of view only serves to complicate the dogs view.

Law 2 (All things must benefit the dog) as all things move towards benefit rather than moving from detriment, essentially law 2 means that "If it does not benefit it will not be considered a second time."

Law 3 (All progression must be dictated by the dog) directs the handler of the dog to only advance the dogs training if the dog shows the desire to do so. This, desire, can be seen in the dogs eagerness to complete a task, the dogs willingness to attempt something and the dogs capacity to repeat a behaviour amongst other signs.

Law 4 (All things must be consistent) is the most simple of the laws but the most difficult. This is due to the fact that if any of the first three are broken, the fourth is also broken. Be aware that everything that you do is watched by your dog and used to produce a prediction of what is going to happen. So remember that Inconsistent behaviour from the handler causes inconsistent responses in the dog.

Dog & Cat Boarding

* Large Facility with 3 separate boarding areas; Main boarding room with 11 pens, Secondary boarding room with 6 pens and a Small animal boarding room with 4 pens.

* Each pen contains a bed, bowl for food and a bucket or bowl for drinking water. There is a door off of each pen for the dog to enter the outside run, which is 6 x 20. The roof shields 10 ft of the runs to protect them from inclement weather.

* 4 play areas for the dogs varying from 1/2 acre grassed to 20 x 20 gravel.

* The facility contains a kitchen, washroom, grooming, 60 x 32 training room and an office.

* Isolated Boarding building "The Cottage" for dogs that need less activity around them, for females in heat or dogs that have a medical need for isolation. The Cottage is a 10 x 12 building with heat, electricity and a 10 x 20 gravel run outside. Please Note that there is an extra fee for the use of the cottage.
