Obedience and Manners
|
 |
Everyone longs for a well behaved dog that they can comfortably take out in public places without the worry of
embarrassing out-of-control doggie behaviors. Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not purposefully misbehave.
They are behaving as dogs do naturally. It is up to the people to provide leadership and guidance to their dogs.
That is the only way dogs will know what is acceptable and what is not acceptable behavior.
Canine Headquarters offers several different venues for obedience training - in-home training, in-kennel training,
private lessons, and group classes.
|
|
 |
Beginning - In the beginning obedience class you will learn how to build a relationship and communicate with your
dog; the theory behind operant conditioning, and how dogs learn. This class is only for on-leash training. You
and your dog will learn commands such as heel, sit, down, come, place (a boundary command), a release command,
basic manners (not jumping up, etc.), and recall games. The class will also addresses behavioral problems.
|
|
 |
Intermediate - In the intermediate class you and your dog will move to off-leash training, distraction training, proofing,
and new commands such as stand, finish, and off-leash recall. Duration of sit, down, and place are worked on and building
the dog's commitment to the exercises. More games!! Pre-requisite: Canine Headquarters Beginning Obedience or the successful
demonstration of basic on-leash obedience commands.
|
|
Competitive - The emphasis for competitive obedience is on teamwork and attitude. All levels of AKC, UKC, and Schutzhund are
covered in competitive obedience. Competitive obedience is currently only offered through private lessons, in-home, or in-kennel
training.
Groups classes are taught in a fun and interactive environment. Beginning obedience meets once a week for 45 minutes for 7
weeks (the 1st class is lecture without your dog). Intermediate obedience classes meet once a week for 4 weeks.
