DESCRIPTION:
Tired of repeating yourself or yelling at your dog all the time? Tired of being frustrated or confused by your dog’s behavior? This class is designed to teach the owner how to train their dogs so they may have the relationship they want. This class introduces the TOP TEN commands in training; RIGHT HERE, LET’S GO, SIT, DOWN, WAIT, STAY, COME HERE, LEAVE-IT, GO TO YOUR RUG/BED and OFF. Owners will not just learn the commands but how to properly communicate them to their dogs. Other topics include equipment (leashes and collars), feeding and toys, grooming, play and tricks. Family members are encouraged to attend.
