Beginners Obedience Training at Noosa Dog Training

Class Overview

Beginning a structured training program is essential for every dog’s success, regardless of their age or previous experience. Our Beginners Obedience Training class, open to dogs aged 6 months and older, creates a solid foundation of essential commands and good behaviour.

We focus on teaching both you and your dog the fundamental skills needed for a harmonious relationship built on clear communication and mutual understanding.

Throughout this comprehensive program, your dog will master crucial commands, including name recognition, sit, drop, place, and leave it. We emphasise developing proper leash manners and loose-lead walking – skills that make daily walks enjoyable rather than challenging.

Your dog will also learn vital impulse control through commands like ‘off’ to stop jumping and other unwanted behaviours. Each skill is taught using proven, positive training methods that build your dog’s confidence while strengthening your bond.

The benefits of our Beginners Obedience Training extend far beyond basic commands. As your dog progresses through the program, you’ll notice improvements in their overall behaviour and responsiveness. We incorporate confidence-building exercises including tunnel and balance work, helping your dog become more self-assured in various situations.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a dog who understands basic hand signals, can perform short stays, and responds reliably to your commands – setting a strong foundation for more advanced training.
