Novice Obedience Training

Novice Obedience is a continuation of our Basic Obedience.  We work on the Basic commands with more distractions (other people and their dogs in the class), longer  Focus work .  We also work on the 10 Elements for the Canine Good Citizen Test.   We use Positive Reinforcement to teach our dogs the fundamentals.  This can be done with praise, food reward or play (using a toy).

• Sit/Stay (3 to 5 minute)
• Down/Down Stay (3 to 5 minute)
