TRAINING
IN HOME TRAINING
We
provide one-on-one in home training which is beneficial for those who
cannot attend regular classes, or want their whole family involved in
the training. It is also more helpful to do these one-on-one sessions
for dogs with behaviour problems, who might not easily be integrated
into a class situation. Most problem behaviours can be resolved in as
little as 2-3 sessions.
TRAINING METHODS
USED
We use a variety of methods when helping you train your dog. We use
positive reinforcement and treat training, a lot of dog psychology, and
sometimes gentle compulsion. We do not use correction/choker
chains.
We will use the most appropriate method for you and your particular
dog. One single method does not necessarily work for every dog, as they
are all individual, just as we are. This is why some dogs ‘fail’ at
doggy school – but it is not the dog who failed, it was simply that the
training did not work for that dog.
BASIC
OBEDIENCE CLASSES
Held Tues and Thurs evenings
6:45pm - 7:30pM
Lara Swimming Pool - rear carpark
$18 per class
Our
aim is to educate owners and their dogs so as to ensure a friendly,
sociable and well-mannered family pet which is welcome in the
community.
Dogs are
taught correct behaviours and boundaries; they learn how to read social
cues from other dogs and to respond in an appropriate way, and owners
are educated on how to best handle their dogs in all
situations.
What will be covered: (please note that not every activity will be
covered in every class. Classes will vary each week.)
~ Basic obedience - sit, down/drop, stay, come/recall, heel.
~ Focus exercises
~ Social manners
~ Body language
~ Games
Dogs must be aged 4 months or older
What to bring to class:
~ Your dog on a flat collar or head halter (Black Dog or Gentle Leader
brands preferred) No choker chains or harnesses please. (Sporn harness
is ok as it sits differently to other harnesses, but check with me
first please.)
~ A hungry doggy (nothing to eat for at least 3 hours prior to class)
and some small pieces of treats. e.g. roast chicken, sausage, cabana,
liver treats.
~ Covered shoes
