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

-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 8 dogs. Please reserve your spot online.

When we rescued our 8 month old Formosan Mountain dog Pebble, she was crazy. She had been in a foster home with no training and prior to that she was a street dog. We tried training Pebble on our own and had little success. She pulled on leash, didn’t listen to us and was insane when she smelled, saw or heard a squirrel. After our first class with Andy and Melissa there was a noticeable difference. After we completed Obedience Bootcamp Level 1 training, Pebble could sit, lie down, stay, come and go onto places (ex. dog bed, bench, tree stump, etc) on command. We recently completed the Level 2 training. Pebble is so much better on leash! She is OBSESSED with squirrels. Now instead of barking, lunging and trying to catch them, she continues to walk on leash with very little corrections needed. We have signed her up for the Off Leash course and continue to do the weekly group walks. We LOVE Obedience Unleashed!
