Basic commands in dog training:

• “Come to me” – a safe and quick approach to the owner;
• “Sit with restraint” – the dog stays in position until you give a new command;
• “Lie down” – calm and self-control, even when excited;
• “No” or ‘Don’t’ – teaching your dog not to pick up food from the ground;
• “Give” – teach your dog to give objects without a struggle;
• “Place” – the dog needs to know where his safe space is;
• “Near” – an important command for crossing the road or to get past triggers.

This class will teach you how to work with your dog properly so that obedience is a fun game rather than a chore. Join group or individual training sessions!

In addition to basic commands, Dog City canines also teach important skills such as:

• behave calmly in cafes, restaurants and crowded places;
• do not react aggressively to cars, bicycles, other dogs or birds;
• remain calm during visits to the veterinarian or groomer;
• walk on a leash without pulling on it;
• feel confident in all life situations.

How long does it take to train a dog?

As with all things for our lesser brothers, it is completely individualized.

One lesson lasts 45-60 minutes – this format is recognized as the most effective, for comfortable training for both dog and owner.

Each course is individually tailored depending on the age, breed and characteristics of your pet. The number of lessons and course length will depend on the quality of the owner’s homework with the dog, as well as achieving a result that is completely satisfactory to the pet parents.

How do you prepare for a training session?

• Leave the house well in advance and walk the dog before attending the class (so that physiological matters do not distract him), but the dog should not be tired.
• It’s best not to feed a few hours before the training session. If the training is scheduled for the morning, take breakfast with you.
• Take an ordinary leash, preferably not a tape measure.
• Prepare a whole portion of the usual diet, plus goodies.
• Do not forget a favorite toy.

Tips from a dog trainer:

• you must alternate commands during the class;
• you must not give commands without stopping, as this will make the dog go crazy;
• any command should be repeated once. If you repeat one command several times – the dog will fulfill
• after the appropriate number of repetitions;
• it is necessary to change commands in a chaotic order, so that the dog can not anticipate the command;
• you can not overload the dog, so it is important to monitor its behavior, so that training does not harm the pet;
• it is necessary to monitor the emotional background of the dog – a frightened dog is a bad pupil;
• it is best to start training with a loose, long leash.
