For
puppies 8-16 weeks. Introduction of basic obedience
skills and vocabulary including "Sit, Come, Down, Stay" and
controlled walking on leash. Class is very informal
with a focus on positive motivation and socialization.
BASIC
OBEDIENCE
Cost:
$90 per 6 wk session
Dogs
must be at least 5 months old for this class. Class
emphasizes getting and keeping your dog's attention so
that it can be trained effectively. In this class we
will work on the commands: "Sit, Come, Down, Stay" on
leash.
CANINE
GOOD CITIZEN
Cost:
$85 per 6 wk session
Designed
to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the
community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a
program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners
and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step
CGC test may receive a certificate from the American
Kennel Club.
Heeling is basic to all dog training sports but Rally Obedience goes beyond this by interspersing over forty obedience movements with the sits, turns and paces of traditional heeling. It also requires a brisk pace, positive and happy demeanor. Rally is not for those who desire an effortless activity that is fun and games. It is not simple or easy but if you enjoy working with your dog in a challenging partnership that will improve heeling and teamwork, and which develops great control over the dog, and then Rally is for you.
One great beauty of Rally is the courses can be designed so that dogs in all levels of training may participate. Our beginner’s course includes heel positioning, sits aided by the handler, turning paces, a sit stay and elements of the recall. As the dog gains skill, more difficult courses are designed which will improve advanced obedience or agility performances.
