You’ll end up with some fantastic pictures, video, and lovely memories.
DO ONE ACTION AT A TIME
- Give your dog time
There can often be anxiety about staying on time during the ceremony. Give your dog the time to walk down the aisle in his or her fashion. They’ll appreciate not being pressured and you not worrying.
COMMUNICATE CLEARLY
- Use clear cues and gestures
You don’t want a confused dog. A little daffiness can be cute. But a confused trainer is a confused puppy. So be clear about what you’re asking them to do.
REWARD PROPERLY
-
Motivate your dog with treats
Most everyone will respond better with a reward. See that they are getting nearer to doing what you want them to do. Then give them the reward they deserve. You know what your companion responds to so reward accordingly.
PRACTICE REGULARLY
- Repetition is key to success
Just as you are practicing everything else for the wedding. Don’t wait until the rehearsal dinner to rehears with your dog. Practice weeks, maybe months, ahead.
TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME
-
Give your dog time to rest too
All this wedding planning can be tiring. Not just for you, but your dog too. You put in extra hours planning, but your dog wants to go for a run. Especially when you’re training them to walk down the aisle, or do something special the day of. Give it time.
