Diana
and David Thompson lead PET HAVEN's Obedience Classes. They have over 50 combined
years of dog training experience and have successfully shown dogs in obedience
and conformation. They have taught thousands of dogs over the last 25 years. Many
have received American Kennel Club degrees and advanced national rankings in obedience.
PET
HAVEN's Sub-Novice Obedience is a 7-week class that will teach you how to train
your dog in basic obedience. The class meet once a week for one hour.
The
Sub-Novice Obedience Class will teach the Use of a Choke Chain, Heeling, Sit,
Down, Sit-Stay, Down-Stay, and Recall.
The class is designed to train the
handler, not the dog. The designated handler must complete the 7-week class, no
substitutes.
BONUS: The same handler with the same dog may repeat classes.
The ability to repeat classes not only re-enforces training, but also provides
the handler a controlled setting to train and socialize the dog.
Over the
years, Diana and David have had PET HAVEN alumni repeat classes and have brought
multiple dogs through their classes.
Diana and David highly recommend dogs
start Obedience before they are 6 months old. Larger breeds can start even earlier.
The intensity of the training will be adjusted for young puppies depending on
temperament and maturity. Starting early, takes advantage of PET HAVEN's Obedience
Bonus of same handler with the same dog to repeat class.
The cost of the
class is $75. The required 6-foot leather leash and choke chain can be purchased
the first day of class.
