So excited to embark on level 2 and 3, ( intermediate and advanced ) dog instructors’ course at South African Dog Training College South African Dog Training College today. The next two weeks I will be tapping into the knowledge and years of experience of Chris Vd Westhuizen and his wonderful wife Christine.
I have been attending “school ” just over 18 months, and their daughter Biata has taken Alex and I from basic home obedience right up to the advanced class in only 18 months. In the first year, Alex achieved his Canine Good Citizen Gold level, the highest level. This is an international recognized programme. Alex has learnt to negotiate all the obstacles in an agility course, learnt how to ride escalators, lifts, negotiate open stairs and walk on open grid surfaces.
Chris exposed me to scent work, organising a seminar with Clinton Cilliers and Ansunet Cilliers. I attended a week long course with The Master Miguel Angel Carbajal Porto and his team from Spain with Clinton Cilliers doing mantrailing. I saw my Alex come alive. He LOVED it.
I have now started my young terrorist, Benjamin on the same Journey.
