Well-known dog trainer Laurie Fass can help you bring out the best in your family pet with Dog Training. Although classes can deal with many problem behaviors, these classes are not meant to address serious behavior issues, like aggression, which would be better served with private lessons. Contact Laurie at (860) 677-1847 or laurie@lauriefassdogtraining.com with questions about your dog and the training.
Level 1: The curriculum includes: Leash manners (no pulling, pay attention), Heel, Sit-stay (including from a distance and with distractions), Down-stay, Come, Boundary training, No jumping, Go, Go to a place, Drop it, Leave It, and understanding of how to progress in appropriate steps leading towards off leash control. Class is appropriate for puppies and dogs of all ages and gives a solid foundation for a well-mannered pet.
Level 2: After the training foundation is laid in a beginner class, real training results can be achieved in a level 2 class. Any dog completing a beginner class or having had basic training may sign up for level 2 classes at any time. Some people find it beneficial to continue training without any time lag. Others like to practice independently before continuing and sign up after waiting a month or two or even a year. Advantages to taking these classes include; Getting reliable, especially around distractions, getting off leash reliability, advancing basic commands, like sitting and down from a distance, coming to heel position while moving, etc., and improving your understanding and communication skills with your dog while keeping your dog mentally active and challenged.
