Description: This is a levels class which means that each lesson builds up from the last class but you can work at your own pace!!
Great for older pups (5 months and older) & adult dogs looking for more than a basic obedience class...
Here is what you'll learn:
- sit, where and when the handler says
- down when and where the handler says
- demonstrate the ability to wait nicely in a sit for a few moments building to a few minutes
- recall past other dogs
- walk on a loose leash with mild to heavier distractions
- demonstrate the ability to "leave it" momentarily when something fun or tasty drops to the floor or the ground in front of him or her
- demonstrate the ability to meet new people without leaping on them
- build some self control and focus by watching the handler
- run and play with your doggie friends in a fenced in area
- learn more than you thought your dog could do!!
This is "reality based" manners in a level learning environment. We will work on basic skills each week, and then have a fun game, (like musical sit), using these skills!
Each level introduces new skills for your dog while continuing to practice previous skills with more and more distractions.
Although each level has specific skill requirements that must be met prior to moving on to the next level, you and your dog progress through the levels at your own pace.
Clicker training We have clickers for sale. Cost is $5.00 We don't require that you have a clicker, but you are more than welcome to use them.
Children: They are more than welcome. If they are quit young, have some toys for them to play with. They are your responsiblity. They can join in the training, but we have classes especially for kids which might suit them better.
