But what about bringing your ipy preschool? 1er, of Bowmanville, Bowmanville, runs one of only two puppy preschools in Canada. She teaches owners and .their puppies of eight weeks . to six months how to live together together more peaceably. The puppy classes Mrs. Miller conducts are not strictly obedience classes. She also covers puppy behavior behavior and puppy nutrition in the nine week course. "Puppies of this age are just like children in the terrible terrible twos," explains Mrs. Miller. Miller. "Often families just can't, cope and end -up putting their puppy to sleep. : -M- In fact, Ruth admits that in the classes that she conducts, conducts, "it's the people we're training. The puppies learn at home." And how do the puppies learn at home? Well, as in every school, there is lots of homework. . Owners are given a homework sheet each week •to work on five out of seven days. The homework is goal- oriented as opposed to time- oriented. For example; in one homework session, a puppy and its master might be asked to perfect a sit-stay. The lesson wouldn't be over until this was accomplished. "Some dogs definitely take longer than others to learn obedience," says Ruth. "It's not that those who take longer are stupid, just more stubborn or headstrong." In her 19 years of experience experience in dog training, Ruth Miller has pinpointed three main problems that people have with their puppies and wish to improve by attending attending classes. The most pressing pressing puppy problem for many people is house- training (no surprise there!). Second to this, tne most common common puppy problem is hand biting, with jumping up a close third. Mrs. Miller is careful to keep classes down to 15 people people plus puppies. There are three instructors available per class. The course is one hour per week on Wednesday Wednesday evenings. She also instructs an obedience obedience class for full-grown dogs on Tuesday nights. Ruth spends 24 hours a day with dogs. She breeds Huskies^ and Dachshund Miniature Wires at her home. She works daily for Terribrae Pet Foods and Supplies in Bowmanville as a professional groomer and she attends dog training . seminars frequently. "Dogs are my life," she confesses. "They're just like people...For instance, if a child is hyperactive, you adjust adjust his diet. If a puppy is hyper, you should do the same." Just as positive teaching and discipline methods seem to work tne best on children, motivational teaching methods methods work the best on puppies. puppies. That's why Ruth Miller encourages all of her students students to use plenty of praise for a move well done by a puppy. Physical punishment is discouraged since most dogs respond very well to verbal punishment. Mrs. Miller welcomes all breeds to her puppy classes, joyed a trip by plane to Frobisher Frobisher Bay on June 25th. Is was a one night trip and night time when they arrived arrived but, there, it was still daylight. They were given a bus tour of the town, to the Hudson Bay Store and other places of interest.
