BHS Hosts 'Coach Your Canine' Video Contest| 11:16AM / Friday, January 09, 2015 | |

If you think you and your dog have talent, now’s your chance to show it off during “Coach Your Canine,” a YouTube video contest.
Hosted by Family Dog School at Berkshire Humane Society, the contest offers a fun way to celebrate the unique canine-human bond during National Train Your Dog Month.
Between Jan. 1 and 31, FDS invites you to upload your best dog training video – a favorite trick, a special routine, or any other proud training moment – to YouTube. Then send your name, phone number, and YouTube link to social@berkshirehumane.org. Videos should be no longer than two minutes. Entries are limited to one per family.
BHS staff will choose the winner, who will be announced on Feb. 1 on Facebook. Entries will be evaluated on the use of positive reinforcement, complexity and proficiency, and, of course, the cute factor.
The winner of the “Coach Your Canine” video contest will receive a gift certificate for training supplies and the choice of one free training course from the following FDS offerings – Puppy School, Agility Training, Nosework, Tricks Class, or Manners, Level 1 or 2.
The Association of Professional Dog Trainers created National Train Your Dog Month five years ago as a way to promote the importance of training dogs to help them become safe and well-behaved companions and family members. Like APDT, FDS believes that good training not only is fun for owners and their dogs but also leads to better communication and a deeper understanding of canine behavior.
