- Do you have the perfect dog?
- Does your dog pull on the leash while being walked?
- Does your dog come to you every time you call it – at home, – out in public places, – in the dog park?
- Does your dog become over excited / over fearful when meeting strangers or other dogs?
- Does your dog bark excessively?
- Does your dog jump up at everybody?
A good starting point with any of the above, or other unwanted behaviours is to take a dog obedience class. Local Dog Training Clubs hold regular obedience classes at an affordable cost, and provide experienced instructors who volunteer their time.
Classes range from Puppies and Beginners to advanced Competitive Obedience and Agility
Classes are fun for both you and your dog, and a chance to meet others with a common interest in the pleasure of having a well-behaved dog.
