First
of all, what is an Obedience Trainer?
An obedience trainer is not a person
who takes your dog into the conformation show ring and displays him before a
judge. If you are looking for
someone to do that, go to our section
"Need
a Conformation Handler?".
All dogs should have some
obedience training. It helps you to manage your dog and ensures that the dog knows how to behave.
An Obedience Trainer is a
professional who knows how to help you learn these management tools. He/she will lead classes generally for a group of dogs at one time. This also provides
another very important opportunity for your dog: socialization to others.
Training varies from basic commands such as "Sit", "Stay",
"Off", "Down", and "Come" that will help you deal with your dog on a daily basis to commands required in more complex settings
such as the competition obedience ring, agility competition, or flyball.
Check with your local kennel and obedience clubs for dates and times of
classes in your area.
