We offer a complete Obedience Program which includes Agility Work and Off-leash Training. Pre-approved dogs can also have Protection Work, enabling Security for both the home and business. Emphasis is placed on attitude adjustment, to ensure that the dog obeys and respects, and does not mindlessly go through a set pattern. Their complete commitment and attention is expected. It's more than just "heel" and "sit". Obedience is a means of controlling a dogs natural behaviour, by encouraging desired traits and discouraging undesirable ones, thus molding an ideal canine companion Four Steps to an Obedient Dog
Step One: FREE EVALUATION and CONSULTATION Since individual dogs vary in both physical and mental capabilities, each dog is evaluated prior to being accepted into the program. This allows the trainer to access both dog and owner, so that a reasonably accurate projection can be made regarding the finished product. Also, any special requests can be discussed. Step Two: IN-BOARD OBEDIENCE TRAINING Training takes between five to six weeks, depending on the animals temperament,trainability and training history. Dogs stay at Havelberg Dog Academy the entire time, worked daily by professional trainers. Step Three: OWNER TRAINING SESSION Once the training is completed the owner is taught how to handle the dog correctly,learning the proper footwork, timing, praise and correction techniques. Step Four: FOLLOW-UP SESSION A week or so later the owner/dog team return for a brush-up session to make sure the transition from
kennel to home is successful. To help keep your dog in prime condition, we continue to train and exercise their skills whenever they are kept at the kennel for boarding ($15.- per day). Cost.$1,800.00 plus tax for 5-6 weeks training. Updated June 16, 2008
