All training sessions are private lessons. One on One. I use a balanced
approach to training. There will be at times different methods used to
achieve the desired result. Not all dogs learn at the same pace or in the
same manner. I will train you how to train your dog. After all, it is you who
will live with your dog and its behavior. It will be you that needs to enforce
the known commands. Dogs need limits and boundaries. If they are not
taught what these limits are then your dog will learn that there are no
boundaries, and anything they do is an acceptable behavior. During the
course of the training there are simple steps that you will learn to be an
effective leader. Training is one of the best ways to bond with your dog. It
develops confidence in your dog. One of the most important aspects of
training is to have fun!
Basic obedience training:
This is a class for dogs that are six months or older. Five-week course.
Private lessons. One hour per lesson. Your dog will be trained to sit, come,
stay, down, and heel, on a six foot leash. Learn how to handle problem areas
such as bolting through doors, counter surfing, excessive barking, jumping
on people, and loose leash walking. The class will teach all of the commands
necessary for your dog to be able to pass the “Canine Good Citizen” test
promoted by the American Kennel Club.
Equipment is provided for this class.
Advanced obedience training:
This class is for dogs of any age over six months that have undergone basic
obedience training and are compliant at the basic level. An evaluation of
skills will be conducted to determine the level of training. It consists of a
five week course at one hour per class and is a re-enforcement of basic
obedience training. Advanced training will progress to off leash heeling,
extended stay, down stay, out of sight stay’s, recall at a distance, and hand
commands for sit, stay, down, stand, and recall. Distractions will be utilized
for this class. Whistle commands can also be paired together with hand
commands for complete off lead reliability.
