OBEDIENCE TRAINING
Training classes are designed to teach you how to train your dog — both you and
your dog will be our students. Oak Spring Kennels’ training philosophy
consists of demonstration, love and praise. We
teach you to communicate with your dog using your normal speaking voice, a leash
and collar, and lots of praise. Get to know and understand your pet and realize
the keys to leading a happy life together!
“STOP THAT DOG!”
ő
Do
you find yourself, or even worse, someone else uttering these words when you’re
outside with your pet?
ő
Does your dog turn
and run when you call it or listens only to certain members of your household?
This can be one of the most frustrating traits when it comes to owning a dog.
We believe that all dogs need some level of obedience training.
Whether you choose to be competitive with your
dog training or just want a well-behaved, well-mannered pet, Oak Spring Kennel
is your answer!

Basic Obedience
The Basic Obedience Class is designed to teach you how to teach your dog to
become a good canine citizen. Basic obedience commands include heel, sit,
sit-stay, down, down-stay, and come. Behavior problems such as aggressiveness
and chewing are addressed. In
addition to obedience training, we will spend one class talking about grooming
and nutrition.
Intermediate
Obedience
The Intermediate Obedience Class is designed for the more mature dog who has had
basic obedience training. These classes will help you to better understand
canine behavior and develop a good relationship between you and your dog. This
class will review basic obedience techniques while introducing new exercises
such as dumbbell retrieval, light obstacle work, and an introduction to
off-leash training.
Competition Obedience
Professional instruction in Schutzhund, French Ring Sport, and AKC Obedience is
available for those seeking the challenge of competitive dog sports. Skill sets
include tracking, obstacle work, agility, and protection training.
Tracking
The Tracking Class format taught uses the Schutzhund style. So whether you‘re
competing for AKC or Schutzhund, you’ll be prepared for every level of
competition. Class is outdoors and taught year round.
Private Lessons
Private
lessons for any of the prior listed classes as well as for correction of
behavioral problems including aggressiveness, soiling, jumping on people and
furniture, and other problems can be arranged at our training facility or in
your home.
