This class will consist of basic obedience for dogs and puppies. I will be modeling for the students how to train their own dogs. I will use positive reinforcement, clicker training and treats in my demonstrations using my own dog. Each week I will demonstrate two or three commands in each lesson and the students will be practicing the techniques using their own dogs. In addition, we will practice the commands learned in the previous week in the following lesson. Week 1: Tools for dog training, communication, housebreaking, use a clicker, "Name Game/Watch Me" and "sit from a stand" commands using clicker, non-verbal and verbal cues. Week 2: Review week 1 commands "Watch me” and "Sit" adding duration, "take it/leave it" and "down" commands using non-verbal and verbal cues, and loose leash walking. Week 3: Review week 2 commands "down" and "take/it leave it." "Sit-stay with distractions" command using non-verbal and verbal cues, sit for greeting and loose leash walking. Week 4: Review "sit-stay" command (Walking through a doorway). Down/stay. Come when called (recall), loose leash walking with sit. Review for graduation. Week 5: Review (recall). "Sit-stay and down-stay with distractions,” "down-stay” command, and loose leash walking. Graduation. Tricks.
