- Sit/down/come commands
- Working through distractions
- Place command
- Recall (teaching your dog to come when called)

During each class we have periods of Q&A, during these periods we try to cover some of the following topics and we encourage owners to bring their own questions:
- Dog reactivity
- Feeding, nutrition
- Grooming and handling of the feet
- Jumping up- how to properly greet people
- Dog and child safety
- Dog socialization
The training method that will be used in this class is called Marker Training.
What is marker (or clicker) training? In a nutshell, it’s an animal training method based on behavioural psychology that relies on marking desirable behaviour and rewarding it. This black and white method of communication is based on positive reinforcement and will revolutionize the way that you train your dog. This class will teach you about the power of training your dog with food and will focus on building the dog/handler relationship through engagement and motivation. During the class you will learn the basic concepts of luring, leash pressure and shaping of behaviours. We will also cover classical/operant conditioning and discuss how to build motivation in your dog through productive play. Marker training can be used to train any behaviour, from basic obedience and tricks to behavioural modification. There are no prerequisites for this class. It is recommended that you bring treats, a food pouch, leash and a clicker for your dog. The class has a limit of 5 dogs. Please reserve your spot online.

The best part of the training was the outside one-on-one suggestions and guidance. Practicing the skills was so important to me. Trainers were punctual, professional and knowledgeable. I would refer friends to Obedience Unleashed.
Gemma and I had a great time in the classes. I would definitely recommend others to train with you. I think that we will do a few weeks of the Saturday morning group walks and then sign up for the Level 2 classes. It has been great for her to be around all the other dogs and learn with the distractions in class. I look forward to more practice on heeling and recall. She is a great house dog and will only get better. I have worked in the veterinary business for 40 years and it is great to see new dog owners coming to classes, asking questions and being given great advice! Thanks again!
