You will learn:
Positive Reinforcement training (R+) focusses on what your dog is doing right. Your dog is taught and rewarded for desirable behavior, increasing his likelihood of repeating it. R+ training is reward-based, not punishment-based. You’ll learn how to gain your dog’s cooperation without choke chains, prong collars, shock collars, or leash corrections. The result is a dog that obeys with enthusiasm, not fear.
Requirements for Basic Positive Training Class:
Also a good idea:
*I highly recommend: a six-foot leather leash (easy on the hands) and a Sensation Front-attaching harness. For extreme pullers, a gentle leader is recommended.
PRE-REGISTRATION BY PHONE IS REQUIRED.
Classes held periodically based on demand
The cost for the five-week class including the test is $175.
Canine Good Citizen is a title from the American Kennel Club. A Canine Good Citizen is trained to act mannerly in the home, in public places and in the presence of other dogs. Passing dogs receive a tag for their collar, a frameable certificate from the AKC, and earn the initials “CGC” after their name. For more information on the ten test items, go to www.akc.org
This is a handling class to prepare you to take the CGC test, which is administered on the last class. You and your dog must already have mastered the basic exercises, therefore the Basic Positive Training Class is a pre-requisite.
PRE-REGISTRATION BY PHONE IS REQUIRED.
