Obedience Training

Obedience training gives the owner and dog a way of communicating and showing the dog where  he fits in the household. We basically are saying to the dog that you are pet, you are a dog, you are not a person and you do not have an equal stand in the house. It gives the dog something to do and  reduces urges to be unruly and destructive. It calms the dog in general and increases his attentiveness to his owner-mentally stimulating, physically active and at the same time, it gives the owner a way to bond  with the dog.

Modifying the unwanted behavior is not a ‘Quick Fix’. It takes work on the owner's part too when the dog is brought home. One of the primary causes of behavior problems is lack of communication between the dog and owner. The owner simply does not know how to correct or tell the dog he is doing something wrong.

Most dog behavior problems are dogs’ natural behavior that the owner simply do not like; for example: barking, jumping, scavenging, etc. For a dog owner living in an apartment, barking will be a problem but if you have an owner staying in a 30 acres land, he may not see it as a problem.In fact, he may prefer the dog to bark at stranger driving through his drive way.

At Real K-9, we do not base our pet obedience program on competition training but rather geared toward the needs of the pet owners. We use obedience as a tool to modify behaviors. These needs are simple and are based on function rather than style.

OUR PACKAGES

Basic In-Board Course ( 3-5 weeks course – RM1200)
This is a basic control in and around the house. At the end of three or five weeks, your dog will do the following on leash; SIT on one command, DOWN on one command, COME when called, STAY (in a sit or down position) until released, and HEEL at your side, sitting automatically when you halt. We also teach your dog how to properly greet people without jumping up and how to go through doors and gates under control. To summarize, in board training means: we do all the hardest work for you, you save time and frustration, and we are here to help you for free anytime you need our assistance.
Dogs aged 4 months and up.  
 
Basic Obedience & Leash Free Recall Course (3 - 5 weeks course – RM1800)
This course is a compromise between the basic on leash course and the full advanced training course (below). The dog is trained to SIT on one command, DOWN on one command, COME when called, STAY (in a sit or down position) until released, and HEEL at your side, sitting automatically when you halt. However the dog will be trained to COME when called whether on or off leash under distractions. We also teach your dog how to properly greet people without jumping up and how to go through doors and gates under control. Dogs aged 6 months & up. 
 
Leash Free Advanced Course (6 weeks course – RM2500)
This course takes a dog with no obedience training and offers complete freedom from the leash, and results in absolute voice control over your dog from a distance, under all manner distractions, with all of your commands. For clients who want that extra measure of control at the beach, hiking swimming, etc. without the leash. The commands taught are; sit, down, stay, come, heel, off, properly greeting people, and hour long solid down stays. We also add an emergency down at a distance, and a “place”. This keeps him under control and comfortable when company is over, or if you just need a break! When done all at once, this course is less time in training, and represents a savings of RM300 over doing the on & off leash courses separately. Dogs aged 8 months and up. 
 
Leash Free Advanced In-Board (3- 4 weeks course – RM1600)
This course is for a dog who has previously been through our on leash basic obedience course or who has had good quality on leash obedience, and is ready for freedom from the leash. This is a 3 week course and results in absolute voice control over your dog from a distance, with all of your commands. For clients who want that extra measure of control at the beach, hiking swimming, etc. without having to worry about lines and leashes. The dog is trained to respond to all commands without the leash. The commands taught are; sit, down, stay, come, heel, off, properly greeting people, and hour long solid down stays. We also add and emergency down at a distance and a “Place” command so you are able to send your dog to his “place” a mat or a bed, on command. This keeps him under control and comfortable when company is over, or if you just need a break!
