The Teaching Program for
Basic Dog Teaching Cost: $495 plus GST
These dogs have no real problems or minor issues with manners or skills.
We will teach you proper management and good teaching to build a good
relationship.
This
course offers you a chance to teach your dog as the friend he is -
no force, control or bribery. Instead we help you become a good teacher.
Session 1 - assessment and teaching - 1 ½ hours
A discussion of your dog's history, experiences and behaviors, as
well his experiences. Next I interact with your dog to learn how and
why he stresses or makes poor choices; what interferes with his learning;
what enhances his learning; how he problem solves. With this I can
set up the best teaching program to assure a safe, trusting relationship.
Then
we give your dog his 'instruction manual' for the human world: the
standards and expectation we have - respecting personal space, ability
to be calm and focused, good manners, boundaries, freedoms and controls.
You will learn how to help your dog learn the calmness and focus needed
for learning.
You
will be instructed in the magic of good management - your key for
handling the dog when you cannot teach or the dog cannot learn. The
first steps will be taken, as required, in manners, , leash and off
leash skills, commands, and problem solving in your main area of concern.
Finally
you will learn practical, efficient and appropriate teaching that
helps your dog learn in an environment of safety and trust. We teach
you how to be good guides, mentors, coaches and parents.
Sessions 2 to 4 - 1 hour each in home or park
We continue the teaching in those areas selected at the first session.
By the completion of the course you will be managing well; able to
help your dog learn well and he will have gained skills in all the
areas or your concern.

We include an e-mail and phone consultation package for the life of
your dog, to get help with our techniques or for any questions that
may arise over the years.
