About…

You want a dog?

A dog is for life!

The decision to acquire a dog must be very carefully considered. A dog is not a trinket.

  • He is a living being with needs.
  • He is intelligent, sensitive, has basic needs and must be part of the family.
  • A dog is for life.
  • When you decide to buy a dog, you have to commit to providing him with love, because he will give you his, unconditionally.
  • Keep him healthy and give him plenty of physical activity to spend his energy.

Did I already say it … a dog is for life.

In the case of a Belgian Shepherd, you will have to take a kindergarten class for puppy's socialization as well as develop a lasting attachment with him through teamwork and the learning of canine language.

Of course I will advise you to take, at a minimum, a basic obedience course in order to develop a solid foundation.

And I will not be surprised if you decide to continue learning with your teammate when you see the full potential of your team and by the pleasure that your student will bring you as you work with him.
