The Basic Pet
Dog class socializes dogs between 5 months and 15 years of age. The
dogs interact with other dogs and people. The dogs vocabulary is
expanded with instructional commands. Basic exercises are taught for
the 'sit', 'down', 'heel', 'leave it', 'drop it', and come when called.
The class
sections will be modified to address any behavior problems the dogs in
class are experiencing. Exercises are taught without "jerking"
or "smashing" the dog into positions.
Weekly homework
assignments are expected to be completed by all family members. The
classes are designed to address the "family pet".
Competition obedience is also available upon request. Many of our
students have competed in obedience and agility trials.
The class
session will run for seven weeks. The first week's session will be
the registration and introduction.
