Beginner Training for Dogs and Puppies
FUNdamental Dog Behavior Training is a combined course in obedience training and behavioral management. I specifically developed the FUNdamental course for dogs and puppies with the needs of pet owners in mind. It is based upon current knowledge of dog behavior, learning and motivation.
In the behavior training classes you will learn how to properly train your dog or puppy to obey basic commands, like heel, sit, down, come, and stay. Additionally, you will learn how to use these commands in daily situations so that you have better control over your dog. You’ll learn to teach your dog to be calmer and more manageable and to solve problems, like jumping up, running off, destroying property and pulling.
The methods taught in the FUNdamental behavior training classes are designed to modify your dog's behavior through the use of positive reinforcement. You will learn how to effectively communicate with your dog and how to motivate him to please you by tappping into his natural desires to play and obtain affection, praise and rewards. Above all, these training methods are FUN for you as well as your dog and more effective than those reyling on correction or intimidation.
Advanced beginner lessons are available for pet owners desiring to train their dogs to be more reliable on basic commands. You will build foundation skills to train your dog for off-leash and distance control. The skills taught are applicable in many areas such as the Canine Good Citizen, competitive and freestyle obedience, and agility. These are offered on Sunday nights at 8 PM.
Beginning January, 2011, Fundamental Behavior classes will be held at ARF Agility Training Center at 1000 Morrison Road, Suite I in Gahanna, Ohio on Sundays evenings beginning at 7:00 PM.
