Group Class Training
Group classes teach you how to control your dog in an everyday environment and are a great way t
o condition good manners with basic obedience. Your dog learns to listen and respond to you while in a class situation around other dogs and people. This is part of socialisation and is critical to helping your dog succeed. Some of our training grounds have enclosed out door facilities for safety, making training very enjoyable. We are able to work in a supported environment. Classes are conducted in a variety of locations around Brisbane for your convenience.
Do I need to train my dog?
In a word YES!. A trained dog is less destructive in and around the home and owners have good control of their pet. All dogs need good leadership and here at Positive Response, YOU can acquire all the skills to set your dog and your family up for life training and end up with a happy, healthy, behaviourally well adjusted dog, one who fits in comfortably with your family.
We use reward based training methods. This type of training offers easy to follow gentle techniques based on sound scientific principles. We take the stress out of learning and everyone can work at their own pace.
Reward based training is not just about food as rewards. You will learn much about the dog, his world and how to read and respond to your pet using and inerpreting basic body language.
