The
duration of this course is ten weekly one hour lessons. The
main focus of this course is control of your dog on and off the
lead to a high level whilst maintaining the fun aspect of
training. Conditions for enrolment are that your dog
must be fully vaccinated and be capable of responding to the
basic commands found in the puppy course. Dogs of all ages
are eligible and child handlers are welcome if accompanied by an
adult. Handouts will be available setting out the goals
and how to achieve them.
Whilst this course is
challenging, it is rewarding for both the owners and dog. It is
designed to give the owner more verbal control of the dog when
on and off lead walking, with changes in direction and more
importantly, recall. In my experience, lead walking and recall
are the problems owners find the most frustrating and who then
impose their frustration onto their dog. A happy,
controlled and trusted pet is a joy to take out, for both the
owner and dog.
A certificate is awarded to
dogs that successfully complete the course. Then you could
