If you want to learn how to properly train your dog. If you want your dog to understand and respond quickly to what you are asking of him, we invite you and your dog to join us for a new and exciting adventure at Uptown Hound.
Beverly McWhirter of Tudorhill Dog Training will be designing and instructing the 5 weekly sessions of (1) hour each. Because she does not travel to shows every weekend, Bev considers herself a hobby dog show competitor. She has been actively involved in the dog show world for over 35 years. To her credit she has owned, bred, and shown several AKC Conformation Champions of several different breeds. She has also trained and titled several different breeds in AKC performance competitions including all levels of obedience, agility, and rally. Bev has taught classes for several years using motivational training methods proven to be successful and easy for the owner and dog to grasp quickly. Simply put, the basis of all training is repetition of a behavior offered by the dog. Dogs want to please their people, but they must fully understand what is expected of them. Show them what you want, and through motivating repetition produce a consistent positive response.
At the end of the (5) week course you dog should walk attentively on a leash without pulling. You will have taught him to reliably sit, down, wait, stay, and come on command. Bev will also address crate training, and several problem behaviors such as: housebreaking, jumping on people, mouthing and biting, or rushing out the car door or the front door ahead of you. She will work with each team to address individual issues they may be experiencing.
We realize that enrolling in 5 weeks of classes is a huge commitment. However, bringing home a dog is a 12 year or more commitment as well. Training your dog how to behave well at home and in public is not just your responsibility; it is your obligation. Come prepared to work hard, and to develop the foundation for a happy well-mannered dog that you will be proud to own.
Class size is limited so contact Bev immediately for questions or to reserve a space at:
