In this fun, engaging flex training course, this successful Certified Dog Trainer/Teacher will be teaching learners how to train their own dogs basic obedience using positive techniques and commands. In this 4 week flex course, we will be learning how to train commands to our dogs such as sit, stay, recall, place, loose leash walking, leave-it, etc. We will also learn tricks and play games with our dogs. Further, we will discuss our favorite dog breeds and learn how to bond with our four legged friends! Students will be given a task to complete via video and/or post. This class occurs using asynchronous messaging on the Outschool platform, and does not meet live over video so student will respond via posts in the classroom. Teacher is available for help as needed with a 24 hour turnaround time. The class should take 30 minutes to view and practice for each command per day. Course 1: Week 1: Theme: Commands: "Sit, sit-stay" Week 2: Theme: Commands: "Down", Trick: "Puppy Push Ups" Week 3: Commands: "Controlled walking, recall" Week 4: Commands: "Leave it and Drop" - Game: "The Drop Game"
Learning Goals
Students will improve their skills in training their own dogs to listen and obey commands. They will learn ideas to solve problems
of various behavior issues in their dogs. Additional goals are to have fun and learn how to have positive experience with their dogs or puppies. The learner will strengthen the bond of communication and interaction between human and dog.
