My work experience is off to an absolutely amazing start. Today, Aesha and I got to shadow some dog trainers at Teamworks Dog Training and Board, and we both learned so much. We got to sit in on training sessions with dogs, in which they specialize in positive reinforcement and clicker training. Aesha and I even got to practice working with several dogs, big and small, learning to only reward when they follow direct commands, and to turn our backs to them when they become overexcited or jump on you. We worked with therapy dogs who were already skillful and learning more advanced maneuvers and with dogs who were still working on the basics. We also spent time just playing with dogs and giving them attention, as Teamworks boards many dogs and has to constantly rotate play time. It was an amazing first day and I can’t wait to learn and see more.
