A Basic Obedience Training package usually covers essential commands and behaviors that form the basis of good canine manners. Here’s what it commonly includes:
- Standard Commands: Teaching basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, down, come, and heel.
- Leash Training: Teaching the dog to walk calmly on a leash without pulling and responding to leash cues.
- Focus and Attention: Training the dog to focus and pay attention, crucial for all further training.
- Behavioral Correction: Addressing common behavioral issues like jumping, chewing, and barking.
- Stay and Wait Commands: Teaching the dog to stay in place until given permission to move.
- Recall Training: Teaching the dog to come when called, an important safety command.
- Consistency and Reinforcement Techniques: Educating the owner on how to maintain training consistency at home and reinforcing learned behaviors.
Usually, a Basic Obedience Training package consists of multiple sessions, usually spread out over a few weeks, to allow time for practice, reinforcement, and gradual progress. The aim is to establish a strong foundation of obedience that can be built upon for more advanced training.
