Basic Obedience

For dogs older than 6 months

My Basic Obedience programme is intended for dogs older than 6 months. Training will start indoors with low-level distractions and then move to areas with low and mid-level distractions outdoors as your dog’s training progresses. Depending on how fast your dog learns (please note: every dog is different) and how consistent you are with your pup’s daily training, between 8 and 16 sessions will be required.

Basic Obedience covers:

Marker training (the best way to communicate with your dog)
How to play/engage with your dog
How to prevent separation anxiety
Touch desensitisation (for grooming & vet visits)
Help with potty training (if required)
Crate / Place training (teaching your dog “the Art of doing nothing”)
Basic obedience commands (SIT, DOWN, STAY, COME, LEAVE IT, DROP IT)
Focus Training (LOOK, TOUCH)
Introduction to muzzle
Introduction to loose leash walking

Please note: Prior to starting this training programme, I will schedule a mandatory initial consultation to assess your dog and to get a better understanding of you and your home environment. This 60 to 90 minute session is mainly information gathering. This consultation is chargeable.
