Laura For Dogs - Dog Training

Laura's early work with German Shepherd dogs taught her the importance of being a strong leader. It is much more to Laura than just sit, down, heel and stay. It is the little things that make a difference. Respect of body space, respect of door ways; having a dog that accepts restraint and handling and gets along with other dogs and people. Home management; practical ideas to teach the pup to be good in the house and yard!

This class is much more obedience-oriented than is typical of puppy classes out there. We start very soft and kind with treats and positive reinforcement to teach Come, Sit, Down, Heel and Stay. As the dogs get more consistent, we start to wean off of the food as a main lure and reward and teach you how to use your voice and leash to back up your words. As a result we get a lot more done in the six-week course than is typical of most puppy classes.

Experienced trainers, excellent class handouts (homework), clear practical instruction in a small group setting. We have strict limits on the amount of dogs allowed in the classroom! We also get into tricks and fun stuff, too.
