What Is Basic Training?
Basic Training establishes basic obedience.
- On your command, your dog will
learn to sit, come, lay down, stay in place, stand and
heel.
- In addition problems such as
chewing, barking, pulling, biting, jumping on people and other
common behavior problems will be resolved.
What Will Your Dog Learn?
Your dog will
- Walk on a leash without pulling.
- Stand quietly for grooming.
- Stand quietly for examination by
the veterinarian.
- Come to you when called.
- Sit, stand and lie down on
command.
- Not fight with other dogs.
- Enjoy being obedient and
mannerly.
What Makes Our Classes Unique
- No crowded classrooms.
Classes are limited to ten dogs and handlers to allow for individual
attention.
- Basic Training teaches on-leash training in just
8 weeks.
- No single training technique is
used. We use the training technique that best fits your
dog's individual personality.
We Specialize In Problem Dogs
So-called "problem dogs"
are our specialty. We have over 30 years of experience identifying and correcting serious bad habits. Common behavior problems such as
chewing, barking, housebreaking, jumping on people, digging and
biting are dealt with quickly and professionally. You are given advice and instructions for correction techniques that you can use at
home.
Class
Description: Basic Training Course

 Class One:
An orientation class without dogs. This is an opportunity
to discuss your dog's
in-home behavior problems during an extensive question and answer
period. Also, samples of required equipment are
displayed.
- Classes Two Through Seven:
All basic obedience lessons are taught with the goal to achieve
excellent on-leash obedience competence and restructure your
relationship between you and your dog so that you work together as a
"team"..
- Class Eight: Graduation Day!
Dogs and handlers compete in a fun version of
a regulation
obedience competition. Graduate medallions are
awarded as well as special awards for highest scoring and most improved dogs.

Basic Training Refund Policy
(Classroom
Course Only)
Once a person has enrolled in
one of Establishment Dog Training, Ltd.’s
classroom
courses, they are considered a STUDENT.

and other applicants are turned away when classes are filled, the general policy
of Establishment Dog Training, Ltd. allows for NO REFUNDS.
However, in the event a student gives ample notice of their inability to
participate in the class in which they have enrolled, and providing that their
reserved place in that class can be filled by a new or other applicant, refunds
or partial refunds may be allowed at the sole discretion of
Establishment Dog Training, Ltd.

beginning at Establishment Dog Training. We offer four levels of advanced
training designed to challenge and delight both dogs and handlers.

hurdles, climb a scaling board, walk a plank, jump through hoops and negotiate
many other obstacles.

Tricks:
Your dog will learn to find your lost keys, carry your groceries, "play
dead", take a bow, roll over, put away his toys, ring the door bell, push a
ball, crawl and many other tricks.
-
Advanced
Obedience:
Your dog will learn to respond to your silent hand signals, retrieve objects
over jumps, pick out objects with your scent, drop to the ground instantly on
your command, stay where you leave him (even when you are out of sight), carry
