Basic Obedience
We have observed over and over again the great pleasure our clients derive from seeing how our classes lead to a dog that is well-behaved in all surroundings. It will become a joy rather than a burden to walk your dog or participate in other outdoor activities. You will no longer have to be afraid that your dog might run off after something or jump on a stranger.
Program Description
Basic Obedience training focuses on teaching fundamental commands in a structured format through positive reinforcement. Our philosophy is not to correct a bad habit but instead to reinforce good behavior. Our training methods develop strong and healthy social bonds between dog owner and dog by having your canine master the following basic commands step by step:
-
Sit
-
Down
-
Heel
-
Go to place
After mastering these basics, more advanced commands are introduced:
-
Walking control
-
Distance control
-
Off leash control
We encourage the whole family to join the class, and to watch and learn so that everyone is on the same page when it comes to properly working with your dog.
