All breed classes - 6 weeks duration. Next class starts Feb. 2nd, 2012 at 7:15pm Small classes so you and your dog get lots of individual attention. All members of the family are encouraged to attend so you can all learn first hand rather then one person trying to take the info back to the rest of the family. Classes located in the gym of the Spryfield Lions Rink and Recreation Centre, 25 Drysdale Rd., Spryfield, NS on Thursday nights. Training is positive with the focus on rewarding desired behaviours. Dogs are trained on their regular buckle or snap collar,with a "clicker" and food. The clicker is used to quickly and effectively mark the exact behaviour that you like and is followed by a treat. Clicker training is a gentle method of training that encourages your dog to solve problems and become a willing partner in the training process. Partners I: is where you will learn how to teach your dog basic commands such as sit, down, focus, come when called, walk politely by your side, not to jump up on people and "gentle" (not to bite at hands). For this class you require: - 4-6 foot leather or nylon leash - flat or round colour with a buckle or snap closer. Gentle leaders, halties, Easy Walk hanresses can also be used. Choke, prong or e-collars are NOT used in the classes - Treats: I recommend you bring a variety pack to class of small (pea size), soft treats. (your dog should come to class on a empty stomach so either do not feed it supper or feed early and only 1/2 its usual amount) Also offered: Partners II (continuing on from the basics), Rally-O, Canine Good Neighbour and Free Style Dancing with your dog when there is enough interest. I have a BA with Honours and a BEd. so my background is education. I have owned and trained Siberian Huskies since 1977 with my dogs obtaining titles in regular obedience, Rally obedience and agility. I've been teaching all breed obedience classes since 1998. For more information contact: Brenda Potter at bpchimini-obedience@yahoo.com PLEASE NOTE: I take all breeds of dogs into my class, however these are family companion classes so it is not the class for dogs with serious aggression problems. Any dog that I feel could be a danger to people or other dogs in the class will be asked to leave and there will be no refund. |
