 Obedience
training is a necessity to allow a dog to live comfortably in a civilization
that is foreign to the dog's nature. While some individuals can accomplish
the necessary training on their own, a training class with the guidance
of an instructor is the better choice for many. At The Pet Spa at Twin
City, our philosophy is that training can be pleasant for both dog and
owner. We utilize positive motivational methods that almost all dogs and
owners find effective and non-threatening. Methods are adjusted to the
needs of your dog. The
beginner level class, which is limited to 6 dogs who are 12 weeks of age
or older, meets once a week for eight weeks, developing a solid foundation
in the skills of the basic commands, including walking nicely on a leash.
Heeling is introduced in the last few weeks of the course.The advanced beginner class is held weekly, furthering the basic skills and developing solid obedience to the basic commands even in the face of distractions. Additionally, some retrieving and jumping is introduced to prevent boredom in dog and owner. Once a month the class features canine freestyle (dancing with your dog) as an additional means of instilling obedience while having fun.  |
