What we do in Basic Skills
In Basic skills classes we work on the behaviours we started in Puppy Parties. However, at this level we increase our expectations and raise the performance criteria. If your dog has not attended Puppy Parties, intro level skills will be introduced.
- Train sit with distractions
- Train polite greeting (no jumping)
- Train down and down/stays
- Train a hand touch
- Reliable recalls! Lots of work on this.
- Loose leash walking skills
- Teach our dogs how to behave appropriately in a class situation
- Improve our marking and rewarding skills (including reducing/fading rewards)
(FYI - we are combining all ages in the Basic Skills classes. Puppies need to have 2 puppy shots before the start of class )
