Saturday August 18 - Basic Obedience

Teaching Your Dog To Focus On Directions


  •   All commands are to be said 1X followed by your hand signal, then wait for complience.
  • When you say your dog's name, it is a tractor beam to you!
  • Praise for good choices
I am taking vacation, so no class August 25 or September 1
Classes resume September 8

Until then, practice;

WAIT -  a temporary stop of forward movement.
WAIT at  doors, curbs, when walking, for no reason. Practice inside and outside.
       always use OK or some other release word to continue on.

SIT - Always said once, always use your dog's name, always smile, always use a hand signal, always praise

LOOK - Teach your dog to check in with you, it can be a game changer!
