Dogs and Their Owners take Lessons in Manners.

Following many complaints from local residents, dog owners are being urged to take special classes into how to look after their dogs.

Reports from the BBC website inform us that Westminister Council has pledged £5000 towards free classes for people in the Queen’s Park area, North-West London.

These behaviour classes are free of charge and will teach dog owners how to handle and train their pets. Classes will include diet and exercise, basic commands and controlled walking on the lead.

This pledge by the local council followed many locals complaints of bad dog behaviour and dog fouling in their area.

The aim of these classes is to teach dog owners basic commands and control of a dog on and off a lead. One of the main highlights will be the importance of cleaning up after the dog.

Dog trainer Chrissie Chambers told the BBC “The classes are called socialising as it is to socialise people and their dogs and to try and give them a better perception of different breeds and owners. Young people, many of whom have pets for macho reasons or as a fashion accessory, are generally given quite a bad reputation…but a majority of them are good owners and want to learn to socialise”

‘Seperation Anxiety’ will also be focused on within the classes. This teaches the owners how to control the dog’s barking when they are left alone and away from the owner.
