Obedience Classes

Are you ready to learn?

Communication is the first step in training a dog, and training can’t be done without first learning how to communicate with your dog. So in essence, we are the ones getting the training, by learning to speak dog. This becomes our language,  so to speak, and it’s not just words, but our body language, facial expression and sounds as well. So now that the dog understands our way of communicating with them, training will be a breeze. This also helps us understand the dog and what he is trying to communicate to us. By knowing how to read his body language and his different barks, we can predict his behavior. It can’t get any better than that!

~With proper training, MAN can be dogs best friend~

Do you imagine yourself on your knees, bending and pulling and getting frustrated, because your new puppy won’t pay any attention to you?
We have ways around that and you will be very pleased with the results. And all this without a leash. Did you think it could be that easy?
Have a look at the options listed below, and give us a call or contact us through this website. You can find our info on the ‘contact us’ page.

PACK LEADER For the Older Dog

In the privacy of your own home and out at the park

Have you ever uttered these words…“Whatever happened to the dog? It used to be such a little angel?? Your dog’s age approaches two years old and he’s getting more daring and disobedient. He’s pushing boundaries and limitations, with quick escapes out the front door or car, when given the opportunity. He’s lunging at strangers and barking up a storm. Many dog owners find their easy going puppy is long gone…and a monster has moved in. Yikes…

This is a very common problem for dog owners. And quickly approaching the age of two, the dog is feeling like a know it all, and it’s all about him or her…and so on, and so on. They missed their chance at forming consistent good behavior early on, and now the dog has grown up to believe that it can go and do what ever it wants. He’s in charge! Well that is just a recipe for disaster! Many poor dogs now in shelters, were never given the right direction when young, and the end result is a shelter, if the dog is lucky.

Some common problems that come up are;

  • Pulling and yanking on the leash.
  • Not coming when recalled.
  • Mild to serious aggressive behavior towards strangers or strange dogs while on leash.
  • The previously quiet puppy is now barking aggressively at all new dogs or people he sees.
  • Jumping up on people entering the house or barking aggressively at new people entering the house.
  • Disruptive or destructive behavior either inside the house or outside in the garden (digging).

You might even have taken the brave steps to adopt a rescue dog, and not know what you are up against. What ever his upbringing was, it surely shaped who he has become. Now with training and communication, you can finally start a new life with your new found friend.

This includes a behavioral profile following the session, and unlimited phone follow-up.
