Making man's best friend even better II

Does your dog still:

• Bark excessively?
• Pull on the leash?
• Destroy household items?
• Jump on people?

Advanced Obedience

For owners who would like to continue beyond Basic Obedience training, an advanced class may be available.  This should cover in-motion commands and commands from a distance.  This sets the foundation for your dog’s off-leash conditioning.

Your dog should learn:

• Proper behavior and socialization
• To heel by your side
• Automatic sit and hold the sit
• Down and sit by your side
• Down and sit from a distance
• Down and stay command
• Come
• Place
• Down and sit in motion

Residential Training Program
Some dog trainers offer a "sleep over camp," where your dog stays with a certified trainer, taking care of your dog's daily needs along with advancing his training during the course of his stay.

Your dog should learn:

• Proper behavior
• Socialization skills
• Crate training
• House breaking
• On leash commands with hand signals
• All basic obedience commands and in-motion commands

Be sure to find out if your dog trainer offers follow-up training sessions or additional help for unique circumstances.
