Additional Class Information: Owner education is provided on positive solutions to problem behavior (examples: play biting, jumping, house training, leadership, learn what motivates dogs, and much more). Attention, eye contact and name recognition form the base for teaching behaviors such as sit, come, stand, down (from a sit and from a stand), stay (both sit and down stay), walk on a loose leash, and heel. In class we use a "Reward Mark" in place of using a "Clicker". Training begins by using hand signals first, once the dog fully understands the hand signal and owners are standing in a normal upright position, verbal cues are then added. This enables owners to give their verbal cues once, versus repeat cues that the dog would learn to ignore. We teach owners to be able to get and maintain their dog's attention with distractions. Owners are taught how to use rewards (treats, toys, play, and praise) properly to motivate their dog. The class No people or dog aggressive dogs are allowed in group classes. Dogs found to have aggression issues (either dog or people) will be pulled from the Group Class and additional training options will be referred. Location: The Right Steps Training Facility 6247 Main Ave in Orangevale. The facility is located just north of Greenback on the west side of Main Ave, next to Moule's Lakeview Glass.
