Class Experience

Class will start with teacher Julia and her Dutch Shepherd, Ginger Peach, demonstrating the simple verbal cue and hand signal for that week’s obedience skill. First, students will practice without their dog. Then they will try it with their dog. Teacher Julia will ask each student to show her their progress so she can give training tips in real time. 

She’ll also ask questions about the student’s dog: age, breed or mix, and learning style. How a dog learns is just as important as how a person learns! For example, a Dalmatian (non-working breed) learns differently than a Border Collie (herding breed)! Here’s a hint: Motivation.

Each week, we’ll focus on one skill:

Week 1: Sit
Week 2: Down
Week 3: Come
Week 4: Stay

Students and dogs are encouraged to take potty or water breaks as needed so they don’t lose focus or tire out. 

Please Note: Teacher Julia will need to be able to see the student and their dog when actively training. Be sure to pick a space large enough for the human and canine learners.

Learning Goals

Students will teach their dogs four important obedience skills: sit, down, come and stay. They will learn how to clearly communicate with their dog and build a stronger bond.

Teacher expertise and credentials
When I was a little girl, I wanted a dog so bad but I wasn’t able to have one. Now I am a dog trainer and a mom. To me, my dogs are family. All too often, I receive heartbreaking calls about a family wondering if they should give up their dog because they’re overwhelmed or the dog is out of control. I have easy, simple and FUN ways to teach a dog and help create a more harmonious household.
