Our
Junior Training Classes are for dogs from 4 months of age
that have not attended puppy classes. During this class we
hope to give you
a better understanding of your dog and help him or her become a
well-mannered member of the community. During the course we
aim to:
- Teach basic obedience (Sit, Come, Lie Down, Stay, Stay, and
Leave);
- Teach dogs to walk nicely on the lead;
- Help owner to get their dogs attention and teach them to
come away from another dog when called;
- Help owners to relax/calm their dogs and teach them to go and
lie on their bed when told;
- Teach dogs to accept and enjoy being handled for Vet Checks;
- Help owners with any problems they may be having with their
dogs.
Dogs must be people
and dog friendly to join this class, If they have previously
had problems with people or other dogs a 30 minute individual
behavioural assessment will be necessary prior to joining
the class. During this assessment
your dogs social skills with people and other dogs will be assessed
to ensure they will be happy in a group situation. This is necessary
to ensure the smooth running of the classes, but also to make sure
your dog will be able to cope in a group of other dogs and people.
If your dog is not happy around strange people or dogs then
he/she
would
not benefit
from the class and he/she may end up more stressed than before.
In -home lessons or behavioural consultations can be arranged for
those dogs that would not suit a group situation.
Our Junior Classes
run for 4 weeks and is approximately
1 - hour long. Bookings are essential as no more than 6 dogs are
taken for a class. |
