IN KENNEL TRAINING

This is a THREE WEEK OBEDIENCE TRAINING PROGRAM with your dog that includes two 2-3 hour training sessions with the owner. Your dog/puppy will stay with me for their part of the training and the owner's training will follow. BASIC OBEDIENCE is an ON LEASH training program. Your dog will learn both VERBAL COMMANDS and HAND SIGNALS for basic obedience behaviors such as; SIT, DOWN, STAND, STAY, HEEL and COME as well as several "CASUAL COMMANDS". Other issues like pulling on leash when walking, jumping up, etc. can also be addressed. ADVANCED OBEDIENCE is taking basic one step further, off lead. ADVANCED focuses on distance, distraction and duration of the basic commands off leash. IN-KENNEL TRAINING includes TWO LESSONS with the owner. These follow up lessons are the most important part of the training! All training must be reinforced by correct repetition. YOU will learn how to TRAIN, HANDLE, COMMAND, CORRECT and PRAISE your dog.
