10
day in-kennel program: |
|
Back
in 1994, John was the first local dog
trainer to introduce an innovative dog
training method to the Central Florida area,
the 10 day in-kennel obedience training
program. The other training companies,
at the time, were requiring longer programs
(from 3 to 6 weeks) to accomplish what he
could do in less than 2 weeks. It
quickly became popular and remains a very
convenient way to train your dog when you
maintain a busy lifestyle due to hectic work
or home schedules. Your dog will stay with us
for 10 days, during which time he or she
will be taught all of the basic obedience
commands such as heel, sit, stay, sit/stay,
down and come. We can also address
other problems such as housebreaking issues,
jumping, barking, etc. On the 11th day you,
the owner, will be trained with your dog to
ensure both of you can work together.
Of course, you and your family members are
welcome to visit your pet during its stay
with us. This allows you to see the
progress being made, as well as help deal
with the separation anxiety! You will
also receive an in-home session from John
about one week after your dog returns home
so he can be sure you and your dog are still
working well together.
Cost:
$750.00 (Basic 10-Day program), discounts available for multiple
dogs.

John
McGrath is a certified evaluator
for the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen
program. This course is designed
to teach your dog how to handle distractions (wheelchairs, strollers, other dogs and people)
while out in public, to increase their
attention span, to encourage better socialization skills. Each week
we will learn and practice various skills leading up to graduation, at
which time your dog should be able to pass each of the 10 requirements and
earn his or her AKC Canine Good citizen Certificate. Passing this class
makes your dog eligible to go with us on an outing to a local
nursing home facility where the dogs will interact with the staff and the seniors
who live there. Dates maybe subject to change. If you would like to learn more click
