Grade Two – six weeks

This is the continuation of Grade One, the exercises will flow into each other. Yes, the exercises become more complex & require you to spend more time with your dog.

We encourage more work on ‘Attention’, ‘Targeting’ to objects & your hand for more control & positioning.

Perfecting ‘Loose Leash Walking’. Sitting by your left side in heel position.

‘Down’ by hand signal & voice command. Sit Stay & Down Stay.

Self-Induced Eye Contact!

We will encourage you to teach ‘Tricks’ to your dog; as a great way to have fun with your furry friend.

Another of my favourite exercises is ‘Leave-it’. This exercise starts to give you the control that you need in all situations. ‘Recall’; teach your dog to come away from distractions such as food, cats & other pets. ‘Fronts’; dog is taught to sit in front when called.

We will train the dog to like being handled by you, a stranger i.e., the Vet or a Groomer. More on ‘Safety exercises’. Busy class, lots to keep you busy!
