Mieka - Advanced Manners

Classes for dogs that know basic obedience....

Advanced Manners: Dogs, like humans, sometimes need a refresher course on the finer points of socializing. We work on issues such as pulling on leash, greeting people and other animals appropriately.

Basic Agility Tricks: Tricks enhance your relationship with your dog and increase strength and flexibility. Best of all working with your dog strengthens your bond with him or her. We explore different methods for teaching each trick so that you can choose the method that best suits how your dog learns and what motivates him.

Advanced Obedience: Leash heel, hand signals, sit and down stay from a distance with distraction.

Intermediate Obedience: Off leash heel, off leash distraction, down from motion. Repetition, repetition.

 

Dealing with Aggression

Aggression is a natural and even necessary phenomenon.

 

In the case of unwanted aggression, human mistakes, misunderstandings, or outright mismanagement are the usual cause.

 

Aggressive behavior can be hereditary, caused by poor health, or the result of the dog's environment. The most common cause for dog bites is environmental. Learn to manage and understand your dog.

 

**Dogs attending this class must be evaluated before attending class
