One behavior that is so very important when working with your dog is ... "ATTENTION" !!

Getting ready to start heeling.
                                               LEFT - "Baron" And  RIGHT -  "Two Young Started pups"
                        ABOVE - Working outdoors on a "sit / stay exercise" with distractions around them.

"Come" is also a behavior that we spend a "lot" of time on.  Some dogs do better with this.  The end of the program is a collar training if your dog shows distraction weak.

This is done during our Boot Camp type program. 




Training Dogs: Jag, Norma and Cosmo, having a Play session, while we work on come - Using this these fun sessions to work on Come with Distractions.


This is part of their training sessions, when coming in for our "Boot Camp" Style course on Obedience.

Here at Maranatha Farm Kennels, when it comes to the "training" of dogs, whenever we see a need, we have always tried to fill it ...

We put up a special building to fill the following needs:

1)  One being for our  Day Care Program sometimes its "just" to cold, wet, or hot outdoors for our Day Care dogs to really enjoy the outdoors with their friends, so this building is going to take care of this, and "late Fall" we are going to be able to add another area of  supervised playtime  to the everyday schedule of our Day Care dogs.

2)  The second thing we had in mind, was to add a Program of "Obedience Classes".

We also have on-going now,  a Program we call a "Boot Camp" style Program, whereby dogs come here for 30 days;  it has been working  so well, we are going to continue it

We found we were not able to reach many of you that just need a "helping" hand to either get started with a young pup, or to polish off a behavior that you might be having trouble with.  Subsequently, the reason why we are adding classes this Fall.



















Form below to make out if interested in any classes or our Bootcamp program.
Dog Age:  Very Young Dog - Older dogs
Course:  5/6Weeks (extra night if needed)
Time:   6:00 p.m. to 7:00p.m. 
Price:  $80.00(+) $10.00 - Special Collar (Per Class)  (special collar for a training aid, is not mandatory)
[Side Bar] We will set aside One (1) extra day or night class for training's at the end if more time is needed, at "no charge".  This class will be geared to get you started, with a method called "Click and Treat"

We are having a lot of fun in these classes, and folks make good progress.  "Beginner Classes" are structured to help train "you" how to go home and train your dog.  And then at the end we give you suggestions and guidance on how to start adding "distractions" into your training program. 

Our "Intermediate Classes" (Dates for these classes usually follow our Beginner classes) This class will  help you to advance with your pet.  In our beginner classes we work on behavior such as: sit - down, and then add duration to those behaviors.  We teach and talk about name recognition, which leads into teaching "come"; a much needed behavior to have your pet know.  We will also work on many extras, such as teaching "manners" and heeling, and go settle.  We will also do some socializing for the dogs; that are non-dog aggressive.

Do you have a new pet, young or old?  These classes will help you get a start with teaching your dog to be a good  Dog.



Boot Camp Obedience Program:  Changes
Because we found this program worked very well we plan to continue it, but with some small changes; training time frame, price, and home visits.

Schedule:
4/Weeks (or thirty days)
Price: $450.00 (payable when dropping off your dog)
Home Visits:  No longer applicable (we need this time for training's)



"All" training will be "Basic" Training:  Come, Sit, Sit/Stays, Down, Down/Stays, Heeling, teaching "Position" etc.  For these Classes we won't be doing any competitive Obedience training's at this time.

Another NEW course will  be offered this Fall/Winter; for those that have purchased an Electronic Collar; some dogs just "won't" come back  around distractions, and for the safety of their dog, they need that extra insurance that when they call their dog, he/she "will" return!!

We will teach you "how" to use such a training collar. You will be taught how to "collar condition", and will be given home work.  The end result will be a dog that understands how to get "out" of pressure. Takes about 3 weeks of doing homework to accomplish this. 
Price:  $60.00, (one on one training)
