GOOD MANNERS AND FOCUS CLASS
Do you want your dog to have the skills to live a great life with you? We will teach you how to teach your dog those behaviours that will ensure that you can both enjoy that special relationship that only you have.
Our Good Manners and Focus Class teaches dogs how to focus and have good manners around distractions including other dogs, and how to teach both owners and dogs how to relax and work together in the face of life's challenges. The class activities incorporate sits, downs, stays, recall and more in the midst of activity to encourage your dog to obey whilst surrounded by distractions. At Paws we solely rely on positive reinforcement training when helping change behaviour, so your dog will want to continue trying new things.
The lesson basis works on the following but sometimes we do add some other items if time allows or needs require it
- Focus Training
- Relaxation training
- Greeting other dogs
- Learning with Games
- Human greetings
- Ignoring the public
- Ignore it
- Distraction Training
- Politeness
We run the Good Manners and Focus Class on Wednesdays. The class starts at 6.30pm at our Kaiwharawhara premises over 4 weeks, and runs for 1 ½ hours. Across 4 weeks you will build up your confidence and increase the difficulty of training for your dog, and learn how important it is to constantly challenge your dog. There is no age limit and we welcome all breeds and all behaviours.
