junior dog training course
The junior course follows on from our puppy and starters course building on the foundations we have developed to apply the exercises to real life situations. For example being able to tell your dog to leave a dropped piece of food, asking your dog to stay whilst you tie your shoe lace and to have your dog remain calm and settled whilst you are enjoying a cuppa at a dog friendly café.
By the end of the course we are aiming for the following:
Lead work - Walk on a loose lead up and down the hall
Stay - 30 second stay within one step of you and five steps away for five seconds
Recall - Come away from the distraction of food
Follow Me Game – dog should constantly try and keep up with the handler
Control at door - Walk calmly/controlled through the door
Health Check - Stand calmly whilst checked all over by handler
Leave - Leave a treat dropped from 10cm for three seconds and leave a treat on a flat hand for three seconds
Controlled Greeting - Say hello without jumping up
Positions - All three positions (Sit, down and stand) on just a hand signal
Hand Target - Follow a hand target and touch it
