For dogs over 6 months
of age who have successfully completed Beginning Home Obedience
and/or Advanced Home Obedience. Rally is the fun new sport that
combines agility and obedience. Dogs and handlers navigate a course
of basic obedience exercises.
For more information on Rally, including the exercises, visit this
website:
www.rallyobedience.com. (Note: Rally is for mixed breed, as
well as purebred dogs.) Bring your dog & current training equipment
the first week.
Please Note: If you have done your dog training at another
facility and wonder whether or not your dog is ready for Advanced
Home Obedience or Rally Obedience, here's a list guidelines that
will help you make that determination. If you still do any of the
following, you're not ready for Advanced Home Obedience or Rally --
we would recommend Beginning Home Obedience class for you and your
dog. (Of course, please contact us if you have a special situation
that you'd like to discuss.)
~ You have to repeat commands. We do not believe in repeating
commands. Nagging dogs is like nagging children or spouses...and
you know how well that works!
~ You say "No" a lot. We don't believe in saying "no" or yelling at
dogs. It might work temporarily, but it doesn't teach the dog what
you really want him to do in the first place!
~ Your dog pulls on the leash. We teach dogs how to walk beside you
without pulling and to sit when you stop walking - all on the first
command.
~ Your dog won't come when called. We will show you how to train a
reliable recall - and only say "come" one time!
~ Your dog won't stay for one to three minutes around distractions.
Sit-stay, down-stay and stand-stay - around distractions!!! - are
taught in our Beginning Home Obedience classes.
~ You're still having behavior problems. We will help you find the
best solution for barking, chewing, digging, jumping up, and other
common problems.
