CLASSES!! We meet every Wednesday from 7:30 pm. to 8:30 p.m. at Flag Pole Hill in Dallas. Our classes are designed so that you learn one or two (or more) new exercises each class period. Then it is up to you to work with your dog a minimum of 4 times during the week. The more often you work with your dog the faster your dog learns. You can also review the exercises you have learned on the "Training Tips" page of this web site.
First Month Class The first month you will learn how to put the collar on your dog, where to place your hands and leash for heeling, how to heel, sit, down your dog. You will begin training your dog to come to you on command. Your dog will also learn to begin to pay attention to you instead of all the other dogs and people around, as well as become sociable.
Beginner Class The Beginners Class is where you, the handler, will start learning how to get your dog to "heel on leash", "sit", "down", "stand", "come", "stay", etc. Before moving up to the Intermediate Class we are looking to see that you have learned the proper techniques used to do each of the exercises.
Intermediate Class Intermediate Class is where you will put into practice what you have learned in the Beginner Class. We will be more concerned with how well you and your dog are performing each exercise. You will be learning some new exercises as well! You should be well into this class by the end of 12 wks. of lessons. Advanced Class By the time you are in the Advanced Class you should be working your dog with voice and hand signals only! Your dog will learn to "stay" in position while you leave and go out of sight. Pretty neat, huh?! Home Next
