Canine Obedience Training
Inspired to learn more about your dog? Do you want to get out and exercise together? We've got classes to help you do this. Is your dog barking at people, jumping on your friends, running away when called or just generally disobedient? Is your dog afraid of things? All of these behaviours can be improved with training.
Our proven positive training methods will leave you with a family member that is focused on you, will love to take direction from you and is not afraid. We can help you shape your puppy into an adult that you can be proud to take anywhere! Terri has over forty five years experience in working with dogs that have behaviour problems and teaching dog obedience classes. Her training method is a gentle, non-punitive and non-threatening to dogs.
Puppies can start as young as ten weeks with a veterinarian's approval. These methods also works well with older dogs. All exercises are taught with food or toy motivation.
Puppy/Beginner Obedience Training Classes
- A seven week beginner class is available at Emeryville Animal Hospital's training facility (indoors or outdoors).
- Each course is tailored to the special learning needs of each pet, teaching you the tools to communicate effectively with your pet.
- A beginner course teaches the following exercises: sit, down, stand, stay, heel, come, overcoming excitement with other dogs and people, greeting people at the door, grooming, retrieving and many things that you be concerned about with your dog.
- Introduction to tricks such as waving, High 5, and Shake a Paw to name a few.
- At the end of seven weeks you should understand how to communicate and assess your dog's training as they continue to grow and mature.
- We encourage you to visit or call Emeryville Animal Hospital in order to book and prepay to reserve your spot in these popular classes.
Once your pet has acquired the skills from Basic Training, consider trying Advance training or other interactive and fun classes like Doggercising, Dancing, Agility Training or Scootering. There are so many fun things to do with your four-legged companion!
