At Fred's Pass our Pet Dog Obedience training
classes are divided into Beginners, Intermediate
and Advanced. At the end of the Intermediate
class your dog should come, stay, walk on
a loose lead, sit, drop and retrieve. Our
methods are purely positive rewards based
training and we are confident that we can
teach you to train your dog, to the level
you need. There is no limit to what you can
achieve at Fred's Pass, be it a polite pet
or a competition companion. We are happy
to help you in any direction and as far as
you like!
BEGINNER CLASS is open to all young
dogs
who are fully vaccinated (usually 16
wks)
and any dog of any age that has no
or little
obedience training.
INTERMEDIATE CLASS is for those that
are
assessed to have the basics or have
graduated
from the Beginners Class.
ADVANCED CLASS is for the Intermediate
Graduate
who wants some higher level training.
This
class introduces some beginning trial
work
and fun competition games such as Rally
O.
CLICKER TRAINING (for those that are
interested,
it is not compulsory), will be formally
introduced
in the Intermediate class.
Our intake night for Pet Dog Obedience is
the First Tuesday of each month beginning in
February.
The tools required for positive training
are:
- Plain flat collar or harness (no check chains);
- Regular flat webbing lead;
- Lots of treats;
- Lots of praise;
- Lots of enthusiasm; and
- a sense of humor!
For your comfort & safety, please also
remember these tips:
- Please leave your dog in the car while you
'check-in' and pay your fees;
- Take your dog for a 'toilet walk' before
class, but be sure to pick-up after him -
use 'poobags' & place in the bins provided;
- Wear comfortable clothes that you can sit
on the grass in, and closed in shoes (runners
preferably, no thongs/scuffs/bare feet.);
- "When it's raining, there's no training".
Please call your Instructor or Club President
to confirm when it looks "iffy",
and discuss lessons to practice at home;
- Protect yourself from mosquitoes & "midgies",
which can be very fierce;
- We provide water for dogs, but make sure
you bring enough water for yourself;
- Bring along your current C5 vaccination certificate
on the first night you join.
