 TRAINING

Basic Obedience

The basic course is designed for the first introduction to obedience training on the adolescent or mature dog. This course teaches the dog five basic obedience commands of Sit, Down, Stay, Heel and Come. Behavior problems such as jumping up, house training, nipping and destructive chewing are covered. If your dog is nervous, timid, or anxious you will be taught how to deal with this behavior.

This course teaches the dog what the commands mean and what it should do when it hears them. You will learn to effectively communicate with your dog. This will lead to better under standing which creates a stronger bond with you and your dog. You will be taught a series of exercises to practice each week on a daily basis to reach your goals.

Course: 7 weeks
