Beginner Course
The Beginner course is for all beginners, whether they have completed the Puppy Foundation Course or not. Many of our pups go on to do our Beginner Course, but we also have new dogs to the club who go straight in at Beginner.
The Beginner Course teaches all the basics of obedience training, as well as many vital socialisation aspects. It also covers a lot on being a responsible dog owner. Once the dogs have been taught the three basic positions, SIT, DOWN and STAND, these invaluable skills can be used when grooming, teeth cleaning, nail clipping, veterinary visits etc. Hygiene, cleanliness, inspection and handling are also modules within our Puppy, Beginner and Young Handler courses.
OUR “MUST” COMMANDS - The basic commands used by us.

STAND means “Stand up and stand still”.
OFF means “Get off and stay off!” (people/furniture/whatever)

STAY means “Stay there until I return to you”.

you another command”.

I call you”.
