Greyhound training class beginning January 18

Want to get started training your Greyhound? Here is a chance. Does your dog know how to sit, down, target? Heck does he even know his name? No, seriously. Many do not & it isn't because people don't love them or lavish attention on them. Have you wanted to start that recall, come when called, training? Well jump on this chance offered by Jen Bachelor at a price that can't be beat. Jen is a trainer of the top level Agility & Obedience Greyhounds. Her dogs are not just well trained. They love, love, love training. My Greyhpunds & Deerhound love training as well. What we learn together helps make them versatile but also keeps them safe. (Plus getting the Greyhound to retrieve things I drop or the Deerhound to unload the dryer for me saves my back.) It's a New Year. Start a fun new adventure with your Greyhoind & give her the training she deserves. See the announcement below.

For those outside the Atlanta/Marietta, Georgia area I recommend starting with Sue Ailsby's Levels Training in the link on the right. It is free, fun and very effective. If you are like me though, it helps to attend a class. So read on.

Curriculum:  I will teach you how to teach your greyhound how to sit, lie down, stay, and come when called.  I would also like to cover some behavior problems and solutions, so please let me know if you have a specific problem.
 
Why train:  Increased communication between you and your greyhound.  Great activity for an active greyhound.  Build your greyhound's confidence.  Increase your ability to control your greyhound.  Gives your greyhound a purpose and makes them feel useful.  And because it is fun!
 
Type of training:  I teach clicker training.  It is a very positive form of training that generally dogs enjoy participating in.
