Obedience Training

Puppy Obedience 1 

For Puppies ages 13 weeks - 6 months (guideline only) and their families.

This class will focus on socialization with other puppies and people, confidence building, and basic puppy obedience. Introduction to basic obedience commands such as sit, stay or wait, recalls, leash walking, obstacles, and how to deal with noises, children, etc, will be covered. We also provide information on house training tips and other behaviour ideas. Positive training techniques are taught to build good puppy manners and acceptable puppy behaviours. We use treats in this class to reward positive behaviour. We suggest you use soft treats such as cheese, wieners, or other soft packaged treats that your puppy really likes and would be used just for training purposes.

Puppy Obedience 2

For Puppies ages 7 months and up (guideline only) and their families.

Owners/handlers are taught positive reinforcement training techniques. Training is focused toward creating a well mannered, obedient family pet using toys, treats, and praise. The focus is on skills such as a firm sit, stay, wait, recall, no jumping, no biting or nipping, and walking comfortably on a lead.

Beginner Obedience

This class is for owners and dogs that have successfully completed puppy obedience classes. This class expands on what was taught/learned in Puppy Obedience such as leash walking, recalls and stays, and attention and focus in different situations. Behaviours will be taught both on and off leash.
