Open Enrollment all year round. Time zones do not mater as we have taught this course to folks around the globe.
We currently offer two remote learning options.
Beginner Novice - 6 Weeks $300
or
Novice -10 Weeks $425
Companion Dog Obedience is a 10 week "intensive online course" teaching "you" to train your dog to the Novice level (Companion Dog) as set forth by the AKC.
The course is open for new students at any time but the 10 weeks of curriculum will be self paced. During this course please expect to dedicate 30-60 minutes a day 6 days a week for 10 weeks to your homework. In this course we will teach obedience skills all dogs should have. All dogs need to be 6 months or older unless approved by the instructor.
This course is designed to prepare you to train your dog to the AKC Companion Dog Standards.
By the end of this course, your dog should be able to:
Calmly and politely walk at heel - to get you in and out of places where you can take your dog
Stand for exam – as a common courtesy to the vet, groomer, and for yourself when it comes time to need to clip or grind toenails, brush the dog, clean the teeth, check him for fleas and ticks, or wipe off those muddy paws.
Off-leash heeling – for those casual moments when you need control, but don’t have a leash handy.
Sit-stay - for when you need to leave the dog behind to go handle something in view or out of view.
Down-stay – for when you need to leave him to attend to some necessity (like a getting groceries out of the car or to assist someone you may meet while you are out, or to sit down at an outside pub and have a meal or beverage.)
Recall - because we all need a dog that will reliably come when called
***and much more***
Students will have access to an online teaching platform full of written material, training videos, and daily training plans.
Students will be required to submit 3 homework videos per week so we can assure the work is being done correctly and provide further instruction as needed.
Each student will be required to submit a "Readiness Test" video at the close of each week to ensure each student is ready to move onto the next week.
This course will also include access to a closed Facebook group for students only. All "required" homework and tests will be submitted by video to this closed group for critique by the trainers.
This course is suitable for dogs of any temperament. Timezones do not matter as we have students from around the world. English -speaking would be the only requirement.
This course requires you "do the work, to get results!" So consider that a friendly warning. There are no short-cuts.
You will have access to this material for 6 months. While this is a 10 week course we understand life happens so this is self paced so many will take longer than 10 weeks to complete the material. We provide access and support for 6 months for a cost of $400.
As this is an online course training equipment will not be provided and will need to be purchased locally or online by each student. Equipment costs should not exceed $50 and details on items needed will be provided before course work begins.
Additional needs...
*** You will need a smart phone for homework video purposes and optionally a cheap tripod if no helper is available to assist.
***Access to a desktop or laptop computer with internet is HIGHLY suggested.
***We HIGHLY suggest students purchase a book that goes along with the method we are teaching which the "digital version" can be purchased through Amazon for only $2.99.
Important:
If you have mobility or health issues PLEASE CONTACT us before enrolling to make sure this course is the right choice for you. While we encourage all family members to get involved in the training we require the primary online student to be a minimum of 18 years of age.
Enrollment space is limited and is online once an account is set up at k9command.propetware.com
