2 Week residential courses

During our 2 week residential courses your pet will learn the basic commands while remaining on the lead. We will make sure that all dogs undertaking our family pet dog training will be able to obey these basic commands by the end of the course.

Residential courses benefit both owner, who doesn't need to be on site during the training, and pet to allow trainers to control the learning environment. The controlled enoviroment helps us to replicate and manage problem situations for you dogs learning.

Key elements of training include timing and consistency to help your pet understand and react to commands positively. For the dog owner we highlight the importance of confidence, body language, use of voice and motivational rewards to make sure that your pet continues to maintain their obedience and training.

Preparation

Before your dog arrives at K9-Unit, you will be asked to complete a dog behaviour assessment form. Our specialist team will use this to help you identify the most effective course of dog obedience and dog behaviour management training.

Overview

On arrival, you and your dog will be greeted by your allocated trainer, who will quickly establish a handler/dog relationship with your dog and undertake basic assessment testing.

Our dog obedience and dog behaviour management training is enforced through a positive and negative system. This means your dog will be praised and rewarded for good behaviour using the following commands:

At the end of the course, your dogs newly acquired skills in dog obedience and dog behaviour management will be demonstrated to you, and our dog trainers will show you how to handle and control your dog in order to maintain the training and assist your dog to quickly learn that this is the way forward.

Extras

We offer a complimentary one hour follow up session which takes place two weeks after your dogs training has been completed. This allows us to assess the dog, and identify any handler errors which we will help you correct, and gives you an opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions you may have.

On the rare occasion that a dog has not trained to its full potential within its allocated course time, our dog trainers will extend the training period at no extra cost.
