Class Description
Learn all the basics and more! Topics covered include breaking common behavior problems, as well as getting and maintaining attention in regular and distracting environments. The primary focus of this class is for the dog to learn to hold all commands during distractions. Teach your dog to do a sit or down while you toss food or toys on the floor without breaking the command. Teach your dog a finish command. In this command, you will start with the dog in front and, with a movement of your hand, the dog will move to your left side in the heel position. Other exercises include calling your dog to come and sit in front of you, heeling your dog at your side with full eye contact without looking away, walking your dog on a loose lead without pulling or jumping even when dogs or people are close.
Class will be on the same day of the week and time as the starting date. Some weeks may be skipped due to holidays or other events. In these situations class will be extended one or more weeks out to equal the number of sessions in the class. In Level I classes fill quickly. We must have all your paperwork and payment before we reserve a space in class. As classes fill, more dates will be added to this list.
Commands include: Sit-stay, down-stay, heel, let's go, finish/place/around, come, off (no jumping)
*For dogs 5 months and over. If your dog is not friendly with other dogs or people, please contact Mary before registering for a class - some private sessions may be required.
