This is where most dogs start. Suitable for puppies, rescues or anyone looking for a refresher course. We'll establish/refine the following skills: name recognition, sit, down, come, follow and stay. Emphasis is on establishing clear consistent communication and feedback between handler and dog.
In this series, we will teach our dogs to Stand, and the difference between Stay & Wait. We build more structure in our walking skills,
and teach a leave it command. This course is good preparation for the Rally-Obedience course or just for more structure in your dog's daily life.
In a series of structured exercises we will deconstruct your walk and teach all the elements individually. Then we start putting the pieces together by practicing short walks where we go through doors, stop at sidewalks, and stop for a quick hello with a passer-by.
Starting with recall from just a few feet away you'll quickly progress by adding distance and distractions in the forms of food, toys and other dogs. Since "come" is often used for safety reasons, this course emphasizes prevention of failed recalls and sets you up for success.
