There are lots of fantastic resources out there for you and your new puppy. Keep in mind, not all methods may suit your puppy’s personality or your comfort level/skill set. Find what works best for you and your puppy. Building a partnership takes time and effort but it is well worth the hard work. If you need assistance, PLEASE reach out to us and we would be happy to try to work together to find a solution for you and your pup. Here are some of our favourite resources that we have used when raising Arcadia as our first puppy!
We are affiliated with the International Shiloh Shepherd Alliance. Please check out their website to learn more about Shiloh Shepherds.
