What topics or techniques are taught in Dog Training classes?

You and your dog will learn some basic commands and more advanced techniques at RSPCA Dog Training.

Level One

All basic dog obedience commands such as sit, stay, recall (coming to you when you call them), drop and loose lead walking. Your instructor will also discuss ways to address common dog behaviour challenges such as mouthing, jumping and barking.

Level Two

Your well-behaved dog might still be a little 'ruff' around the edges. Level Two will teach parallel walking, recall at a distance, attention with distractions, lead walking at heel, and some tricks and games.

One-on-One Lessons

Personal training sessions are designed to address your dog's particular behaviour issues. These can include reactivity to other dogs, anxiety, incessant barking, jumping up and other challenges that may be preventing you and your dog from getting out and about.

The instructor will meet with you and your dog for an initial assessment before they design a dog training program tailor-made to suit you.
