PUPPY AND DOG OBEDIENCE CLASSES
There are some great puppy and dog training courses coming up which will not only teach essential skills but will also reinforce the relationship between you and your dog.
Each course consists of three classes held on three consecutive Saturdays in Lower Slaughter. A course costs £75 but if you book two of the courses the total cost is £130 (£20 reduction), if you book all three courses the cost is £195 (a reduction of £30). As classes are limited to 5 puppies/dogs this is subject to availability and works on a first come first serve basis.
Here are the details:
Beginner and Basic Training:
This isn’t just for puppies. Often older dogs haven’t learnt the essential skill of being able to focus when being given a command. With that in mind this course covers getting your dog's attention and the principles and methods of dog training. You’ll learn how to implement recall and basic commands such as sit, stay, heel and drop (a ball or other item). You'll also find out about loose lead walking (i.e. not pulling) and ignoring distractions. Much of this is essential for the safety of your dog.
Intermediate and Clicker Training:
This involves more advanced skills such as roll over, walking to heel and long stays. Clicker training is highly effective and reduces dependence on treats. You’ll be given ideas on how to provide mental stimulation for your dog as apparent ‘bad behaviour’ can be the result of boredom.
Advanced Training and Mental Stimulation:
This is only available to certain breeds including Collies, Huskies and Malamuts, Retrievers, Spaniels and other dogs that are traditionally bred as working dogs. Your dog will learn to jump through hoops and slalom as well as learning other great manoeuvres. This improves your dog’s balance and co-ordination and working together at an advanced level will further strengthen your relationship with your pooch.
