TNT’s Foundation Obedience Training Classes
Why Train Your Puppy/ Dog at TNT?
Our class curriculum was designed by world-renowned obedience trainer and dog sport competitor, Janice Gunn, author of numerous popular obedience training videos and sought-after seminar presenter. Janice planned our classes to cover all of the basic obedience skills as well as to introduce training theory and give you the tools to prevent a range of disruptive behaviours such as nipping, barking, preventing housebreaking problems, separation anxiety and more.
Her positive game-based methodology makes training fun for both dogs and humans and is designed to strengthen the bond between dog and trainer.
I found the instructor very helpful and knowledgeable regarding all dog training aspects. Favourite thing about class: Expertise and knowledge of the instructor and the small class size allowed for individual questions.
We came before with out previous dog. The instructor, was friendly and knowledgeable. Our favourite thing was getting new info and insight into dog behaviour.
We took puppy class with our Airedale Terrier pup . I appreciate our instructor’s no nonsense but caring and realistic approach to dog training. I really liked the homework resources including the homework checklist. The instructor took time to check if with everyone to address individual problems that happened during the week and answered questions about concerns of different people in the class and offer tips for those behaviours. I think the instructor went the extra mile by gently checking in with me to make sure I understood Airedale’s (and terriers in general) take extra training work and that’s okay. We’ll be checking out further training once our pup has mastered the skills from this class.
Our instructor was very helpful. Our puppy had some behaviours we didn’t know how to deal with, and she gave us ways to work with our puppy to encourage the behaviour we want. She would give tips and tricks if our dog was having difficulty with the skills they were learning. I felt like she had a solution to all my questions. She was also very encouraging and non-judgmental when my puppy was misbehaving. So that really made me feel secure and comfortable in class.
The instructor was friendly and helpful and answered any questions that arose during the five weeks. Favourite thing was seeing the progression the pups made.
The instructor was extremely helpful. It was great to see all the other puppies! The class time seemed to be way too short we were having so much fun.
