All
of our trainers adhere to the Code of Conduct, laid down by the Association
of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), which involves training methods
which are kind, fair and effective, therefore we DO
NOT USE choke/check chains or
electric collars. Training dogs has changed a great deal in
the last few years. It is no longer considered necessary, or
acceptable, to use harsh methods in training, and the use of
gentle, motivational methods are as successful as they are
enjoyable to use.
The
Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme aims to promote responsible
dog ownership and, in turn, enhance the relationship with our
pets and to make the community aware of the benefits associated
with owning dogs.
Canine Good Citizen
This is a 6 week course designed to:
- Improve response to basic commands.
- Teach controlled greeting.
- Walk on loose lead amongst distractions.
- Improve recall away from distractions.
- Achieve control at door/gateways.
- Achieve a steady stay.
- Promote fuss free handling/grooming.
You will be shown ways to encourage self-control in your dog and to promote a greater understanding and bond between you and your dog. An opportunity to be assessed for the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme at Bronze level will be provided following completion of the course. All exercises included in the assessment will have been extensively practiced during classes.
Weekly information sheets will be provided to complement the classes which are open to dogs of all ages who can perform the basic commands.
