AT one time it was thought only the wealthy hired the ser- vices of an interior designer or an interior decorator.

Fortunately today that has changed. Today's interior designers and decorators work with “real” budgets and will listen to all your

needs to assist you with anv decorating pro-

ject.

It’s important to keep in mind that there is a difference between an interior designer

and an interior decorator.

The former has extensive training and education and must pass an international exam. They are knowiedgeable about build- ing and safety codes and are usually regis- tered with a provincial organization. The latter may be trained or untrained, self-

taught and generally provide esthetic ser-

vices.

As far as choosing between the two, it's a good idea to interview both and choose the one that has the best fit with your needs. Examine their portfolios, check their refer-

ences and remember that word of mouth is the very best recommendation! Before you go ahead and hire a design professional, make sure you have estab- lished goals for vour project. Does it require the extensive qualifications of an interior designer or is an interior dec- orator better suited to the project at hand?

Identity the theme of your project and

dog's leash with your left hand, but prevent it from get- ting the treat before vou give a command. Face your dog and place your right hand on your left shoulder. You are now in the position to give your dog a command.

Step 4: With your dog in a sit, wait for your dog to look at you. Try not to call its name or make smoochie nois- es, The object is for your dog to give you unsolicited, full attention. (You may have to wait a few minutes, so be patient.) When your dog

looks at you, give the com- mand “Search” and quickly point at the first treat with your rght hand. Allow your dog to sniff the area close to thar treat undl the treat is found. You may have to help. Once your dog finds the treat, praise like crazy and move on to your next marked spot.

‘Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the next two spots.

Step 6: With the second to last spot, you are going to allow your dog to work a little harder. Begin with Steps 3 and 4. But this time, when you give the command, just point in the direction of the

4

treat, not directly at it, and allow your dog to move away from you and work until the treat is found.

Step 7: If your dog did well with the ‘increased work, repeat step 6 for the last - remaining treat. If your dog had difficulty, repeat step 4.

The object of the game is to have fun and let your dog be successful every time. Next week will be your next lesson. — Joan is the owner of Sierra K9 Training Academy. For advice or training e-mail her at <Joan@sierrak9.com> or con- tact her throng the North Shore
