We first started training with Gordon, of Websters Dog Training, when our dog Turk was 12 weeks old.
We put Turk through the 6 week Obedience Program and were amazed at his progress under Gordon’s guidance.
First Gordon established a relationship based on Hand Signals. Once these were understood and practiced, he then taught multiple vocal commands.
We were given lesson notes and homework after every visit, easy to follow and very detailed, which we practiced until the next lesson.
What we clearly noticed was Turks bond with Gordon; it was a relationship of trade, based on fair but firm handling , not only did our dog enjoy these lessons - he excelled at them ..!
Websters Dog Training Philosophy is based on the dog offering you taught behaviors in any given situation in exchange for reward; food, toys, tactile and verbal praise, instead of you asking the dog for them.
Positive Reinforcement is Gordon’s primary instruction but firmness is often required with adolescent dogs and Gordon uses just enough for your dog to refocus without losing your dog’s respect or trust.
Did we enjoy the experience..?
Turk is just over six months old now and we’ve just begun the Intermediate Obedience Program.
Turk is learning to :
Walk Backwards.
Pivot Into Heel Position.
Orbit Around Our Bodies.
Etc Etc.
His confidence and focus is through the roof..!!
Thank you again Websters Dog Training.
