Rally Obedience - Novice through Excellent Beginning Obedience / CGC / STAR Puppy class Continuing Obedience Attention & Focus with the Clicker Distractions Competition Obedience - Beginning Novice through Open. Woodinville & Issaquah. |
Welcome to training you with your dog! I offer dog training classes in Woodinville and Issaquah. Along with group classes, I also offer private lessons. Training I strive to give dogs AND their owners a good foundation in basic manners and obedience. Of course, a lot depends on the commitment of the owner! Practice always helps! For my competition students, we work toward perfection, but within the limitation of the team. In other words: we train to the best of the team's abilities at that time. My rally obedience students typically do very well at shows. Philosophy Training is done with a positive note: I want the students with their dog to succeed! Training should be fun, even though we may be working hard! We use luring and lots of praise to help the dog succeed and understand the behavior, and corrections are given only when the dog has been taught the behavior AND understands the command associated with it. Corrections are not given when a dog is just beginning training a behavior. Training should be an enjoyable activity for both partners! I refer to behaviorists as necessary, and refer to other obedience trainers for higher level training. Classes I offer a varity of classes, from Beginning Obedience to help your dog become a better family member, to basic competition classes. A student may choose to take classes for fun, or with a more serious goal of attaining titles. Class sizes are typically small - 6-8 teams for individualized attention. |
