Obedience Dog Training Classes
Wednesday Bronze/Silver Good citizen class 7.30pm – 8.15pm – Some spaces starting September 5th
Thursday 7.30pm Silver /Gold Good citizen Full
I like to combine puppies with older dogs after the initial puppy course as the majority of dogs they will meet out and about will be adult dogs. I also feel it isn’t beneficial for puppies to go through the whole of their training with the same group of puppies. Dogs can become comfortable with their class mates and this can cause problems when they encounter a new dog or when a new dog joins a class.
In this class we aim to build upon and reinforce the dog training basics that you have learnt in the previous class.
We work towards the Good citizen Bronze award alongside The APDT Companion awards
The Bronze/Silver Good Citizen dog training class syllabus covers the beginnings of:
Stays
Recall
Come away from distractions
Loose lead walking
Gate control
Vet checks, handling, grooming
Thursday Silver / Gold Good Citizen class 7.30-8.15

However this class can also be a stepping stone for those who wish to venture into the competitive dog sports world. Here are some of the training exercises we cover in this class:
Stays – out of sight
