Obedience Training offered by
GEOFF HOPEThe first dog I ever trained was our family pet, Duke, back in 1987. At that time I was still in school and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
In 1990 I completed my year national service in the South African Air Force. During this time I was sent to their dog training school. Here I was exposed to all breeds of dog, and where my love of the GSD (German Shepherd Dog) was born.
In 1991 I was contacted by someone that wanted their Rhodesian Ridgeback cross trained in obedience. From this first dog, I was referred to another person, and another, and by 2002 the dog training school had over 40 dogs at any given time.
We tried to keep the training interesting and had a number of courses, including:-
1) Home obedience
2) Tracking
3) Personal protection
4) Trick training
5) Schutzhund (also known as IPO)
6) SAWDOS (South African Working Dogs Open Stakes)
7) Puppy classes
Having a dog as a pet or a friend is a great honour, and I have found that with regular training that bond is strengthened, and adds excitement in the life of both the dogs and their owners.
and PAT AND ROBIN HEART
Pat and Robin and certified dog trainers by the National K9 Learning Center in Columbus, Ohio, USA. The school was founded in 1975 and has trained students from more than 40 different countries around the world. They are also approved by The Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools.
Our qualifications include Basic & Advance Obedience, Behavior Evaluation and Modification, Canine Personality Assessment, Puppy Evaluation and Preschool. We are also members of the International Association of Canine Professionals and the National K9 Dog Trainers Association.
We believe that every dog, depending on their background, breed, age & life experiences, is different. We feel that behavior modification and obedience training can only be done on an individual level, as it is catered to the dog’s personal abilities. We offer free consultation with the owners and their dogs to asses what problems they might have and what training they might require. Each owners expectations are different and so we cater to their needs as well as the dogs.
Our goal is to educate owners about their dogs and help to build a good sound relationship between the owner and the dog by giving them the tools to communicate with the dog.
