Obedience (Level 1, 2 and 3)

Become a Little Moe’s K9 Good Citizen! Level 1 class will focus on basic manners and problem solving class. Teach your dog all your traditional basic obedience moves sit, down, stay, come, heel position and walking on a loose leash. We want to take it a bit further and educate handlers on how to read basic dog behaviour, is your dog stressed, happy, scared ? Can you tell the signs ? How will you deal with them if there is a problem? Deal with jumping, barking, biting, chewing, etc. Finally we will do meet and greets with people and other dogs teaching the dogs to be appropriate, wait at the door, off or leave it, go to your mat and walking on a loose leash with different distractions. Included when you register for the class is a clicker and a booklet with important information and class homework sheets.

Level 2 we will raise our expectations a little bit! How do we get them fluent in their behaviors anywhere we want to take them? For example going for a walk down town, your neighborhood or going to the park. At least two weeks of this class we will be meeting in different locations in town to work your dogs in real life situations. Other things we will be working on are lots of recalls (come), sit for a friendly stranger, stand stay while being groomed or having an exam, longer stays, faster downs (drop) more meet and greets and heel work.

Level 3 is for those people who want to take their training to another level. Don’t think you have to be competitive to do this class. If you love working with your pooch small to giant and you want to challenge yourself and have a really well trained dog try this you will be surprised how much fun it can be! We will work towards off leash recalls, off leash heeling, out of sight stays, targeting exercises, we will work with the competitive Rally obedience signs and be tested at the end of the course. We will also train at least two weeks of the 6 week course in another location.
