Basic Obedience Classes "Basic Obedience for the Family Pet" (Classes held at various venues throughout Northern Ireland) All dogs from an early age must be taught the basic elements of obedience if they are to become acceptable members of your household and society at large. At the Copperbirch Dog Training Academy we teach you, the owner, how to train your dog in basic obedience. The programme is conducted over a six week period at various venues throughout Northern Ireland. As well as training your dog to the usual heel, sit, stay and come, we cover all aspects of socialisation and instruct you the owner in essential canine etiquette such as the legalities of owning a dog, as well as nutrition, grooming and other aspects of your dogs welfare. By the end of the six week programme you and your pet will become long lasting friends in every way and your lives together will be enhanced forever. What we Plan to Achieve. Training your dog to an acceptable level of obedience is an essential requirement if you and your dog are to co-exist in a harmonious relationship, not only within the family circle, but within society as a whole. Whilst at our obedience class your dog will learn to obey you and behave in a proper manner, not because it fears you but because it loves you. At the Copperbirch Dog Training Academy Keith will endeavour to show you by tried and trusted methods his uniquely developed formula for dog training. The following is an inclusive, but not exclusive list of our set standard behaviour modifications you and your dog will learn while attending our Obedience Classes. • Necessary day to day management of any behavioural and control problems. • Sit on command. • Stay on command. • Walk to heel on the lead without pulling. • Controlled greeting. • Controlled in/out of car. • Recall into sit position. • All of the above with natural and realistic distractions.
