Basic Obedience

Basic Obedience

My dog is more than one year old and has not been trained.

Basic Obedience

Prerequisites: 12 months old or older. Up-to-date Rabies vaccinations and other vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian.

In this class we help new (or seasoned) dog owners teach their dog the essential fundamentals for a well behaved companion dog. Critical to a well-behaved companion dog are good manners – not jumping on guests, coming when called and basic obedience commands (sit, down, come, walk with me), name recognition and good dog behavior. Emphasis is placed on reward based training methods where the dog receives a food ”paycheck” when he does the right thing. Clicker Training is emphasized but not required. Clicker training helps quickly and easily teach the skills learned in this basic obedience class. By offering your dog a food reward, and a special sound to tell him he’s done something right, You will learn to communicate with your pet in a way the dog can understand and react positively to.

Please think carefully before you enroll in a class with your reactive dog — a dog who barks, pulls and gets over-excited when encountering another dog or person. A class of 8 dogs and 8 or more new people is usually too much. We can help you with private lessons. Just contact us about private lessons. We can prepare you to enjoy a class with us!

Classes

This class will meet once a week for 8 weeks/classes and costs $110.00. The class meets on Tuesday evenings alternating approximately every 4 weeks meeting at either 6:30 or 7:30 pm. Email or call for the time and date of our next session.
