Dogs are social animals, but without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark wildly, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to react in a normal way.

One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (服從訓(xùn)練) it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the most important. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.

Training is also an easy way to build the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to make yourself as of the dog by using extreme ways. You can teach your dog its subordinate (從屬的) role by teaching it to follow your orders. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to happily accept that you are in charge.

Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable!

Sun Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Sun Camp, horses ARE the program! We are 100%horse from stable(馬廄) management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.

Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning.

Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of! Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.

At Sun, we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have “The Bunkhouse”(4 girls), the” Wranglers Roost”(4 girls), and “The Hideout”(2 girls) in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.

Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child’s vacation, Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album (usually300-500 pictures) of their stay at camp.

Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2008, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.
