Good Manners for Pet Dogs Class
This course offers follow-on training for dogs that have completed the young puppy class, and also welcomes older puppies and rescue dogs. The exercises are designed to develop a polite, well-behaved companion dog, and also to help you to understand your dog, particularly how it learns and how to teach it what you want.
The course covers:
TRAINING:
- Walking on a loose lead
- Coming when called
- Sit, and practical applications such as being polite around doors and kerbs
- Down
- Stay
- Give
- Leave
- Tricks, big dogs need cute behaviours and trick training is an ideal tool to teach key training skills to the handler
MENTAL DEVELOPMENT:
- People are other dogs – please be polite to them
- How dogs learn and what your dog looks like when it is learning
- Leadership, you or your dog?
- Fitting in with the family
- How to solve problems in training
HUSBANDRY:
- Handling, vet examination and grooming
- Building the right relationship
- Grabbing their collar (useful, believe me!)
