Hello, I’m Efua

I live in Accra with Sika, a yellow Labrador who is now five months old. I trained my first dog with a raised voice and a tight lead, and I did not enjoy it, and neither did he. This time I use a clicker, small treats and a lot of patience, and it is easier on both of us.

I film every lesson in my courtyard under the mango tree, with Sika as she really is, which means a few mistakes in every video. I teach one cue at a time, in the order I taught it, and I write down the plans I wish I had been given. If you are worried about your puppy’s health or behaviour, please ask your vet.
