GENERAL OBEDIENCE

General obedience covers a wide spectrum of learning. Depending on your own experience and confidence you may have taught the basics of sit and down and walk to heel etc and may be looking for recall training perhaps where your dog has a tendency to run off to play with other dogs instead. General Obedience also includes fetching objects, a long down, manners at home.

We teach using positive re-enforcement and as such building on the basics of our foundation course is always best practice where you have developed a desire in your dog for a specific reward (often a ball). From this point we can help you motivate your dog to do more and more advanced tasks or tricks. This type of training is both fun for you the owner and rewarding as you develop the dogs level of ability but more importantly it helps ensure your dogs mind is stimulated which as a positive by-product helps avoid negative behaviours developing due to the dog finding ways to stimulate their own mind.

We also train obedience as part of the Schutzhund (VPG/IPO) trials. The requirements for this type of obedience is a more strict than everyday obedience and we offer training to help you and your dog succeed in both these working trails and/or to pass the BH (Basic Handling) test. The patterns for this obedience assessment and also the rules can be found in our work section. This training is offered at classes, for groups at your club or premises or on a 1:2:1 basis.
