How To Prepare Your Dog For A first training session

 How To Prepare Your Dog For A Training Session


First and foremost, be sure to exercise your dog before a training session.
 The younger the pup, the more physical activity they will need to focus. 

However, you don’t want to wear them out completely, so opt for a brisk walk over a vigorous run.

Keep training sessions short to avoid boredom and frustration. Five to ten minutes is best for dogs that are new to training.

Be patient with your dog. Learning new things takes time and lots of practice.

Schedule training two to three hours before mealtimes to prevent hunger-related distractions.

Use tiny pieces of high-reward treats. Your dog doesn’t care about treat size as long as they taste good, and there are lots of them.




Preparing for Obedience Classes

It is a common practice to have only the owners in the first session to help you understand what to expect during the entire program.

Before the first class, take your dog to the veterinarian to make sure they are healthy enough to attend the program and properly vaccinated. You may be asked to submit a copy of their records regarding his health and vaccines.

Make a note of the essential supplies you may need such as:

  • A dog collar with the required information to identify your pet.
  • A treat bag with your dog’s favourite treats for motivation.
  • A favourite toy
  • A non-retractable leash
  • A Clicker
