Obedience Class Levels to Teach Your Puppy/Dog
Puppy Sitting For Obedience Training Treat Looking Up At Pet Parent
Basic Obedience
Our goal in teaching you about basic obedience skills is to provide your dog with a set of commands that she understands, and which will make both your life and hers much more enjoyable. Just like human children that do not have a solid foundation of manners and direction, dogs who do not have a solid set of obedience and manners can quickly grow out of hand.
First of all, let us say that we only advocate positive reinforcement and do not believe in nor advocate the use of any type of choke, pinch, or shock collars, and stand by a firm rule of 'never ever yell at or hit your dog’. Ever. You must treat them as you would like to be treated; with love and respect, and they will reciprocate.
Some basic commands we suggest that you teach your dog are: Sit, Down, Sit-Stay, Come, Stop, Off, and Leave it.
Intermediate Education
Continuing obedience work, adding new commands such as "Off", fun games such as "Find Me", and so forth are what we would consider and teach as Intermediate Education.
Advanced Education
Tricks and Tasks such as Agility, Preparing for CGC(Canine Good Citizen) Certificate, Training for working in the Film Industry, are all considered Advanced Education.
SPECIALTY WORK-
Specialty work would be things like Guide Dog or Service Dog training and we’ll talk about those in separate articles.
Dogs are amazing creatures and certainly many find them to be our Best Friends.
