GROUP BASIC OBEDIENCE CLASSES Because of peoples' work schedules classes are now held on either a Sunday evening or a Wednesday evening. They are held throughout the year ensuring that there is always a new class start date to fit in with your family plans. Classes are held at LATIMORE LAKE COMMUNITY CENTRE (east Saint John) and is open to all dogs aged from 3 months and upwards. Thee course lasts for a total of 10, 1 hour classes and includes the following: - A one hour class of theory in which you will learn why your dogs may develop issues and how we have to learn to understand them to be able to correct them. - How they communicate with us and each other via body language, dog pack order and as much information as I can get to you within the hour. Over the rest of the classes we will be covering: - How to walk with a calm relaxed dog on leash and off leash. - The sit, and sit-stay both long and short distance - The very important “come" command - The down and down-stay both long and short distance. I have found that every class learns at a different rate so if time allows for extra we will also learn: - Manners at the door and stairs - Leave it command - Safety at the roadside, shake a paw and rollover tricks. With each new topic we learn, we also do lots of proofing to insure that the dog really understands what he has just been taught. The proofing is usually done in the form of fun doggy games or exercises. PRIVATE LESSONS OR BEHAVIOR ISSUES For those of you who are not sure about group classes I can do with you a 1 hour private lesson that will cover the same as we do in the class. For dogs with ANY kind of behavior issue I can come to your home or you can meet up with me here at my kennels. The cost is $30.00 per hour if you come to the kennels, or $40.00 per if I travel to your home. BOARD AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING BY CAROLINE BIRD. This is for you if you want me to personally train your dog for you at my kennels. The cost includes boarding fees and is $280.00 per week, or $45.00 per day. You don’t need to be here so take a vacation and come home to a calmer, happier dog! AGILITY For information on Agility, please visit our Agility page |
