Open to all dogs over the age of six months, this class
focuses on giving you the basics to train your pet through positive
reinforcement. If you and your pet attend classes and practice 15 minutes
per day at home, your dog should be proficient at basic commands within six
weeks' time:
Sit
Down
Stay (sit and down)
Come
Waiting at the door
Off/Leave It
Loose Leash Walking
The methods used in
this class include the use of treats, praise and fun to help the dogs (and
owners!) learn in the fastest and most positive way possible. Mild
corrections are used, but most students have their dogs on regular buckle
collars. If there is a better management tool for your particular situation,
we will suggest it.
Class sizes are small, and folks really get to know each other in our
friendly, indoor environment.
