Duston German Shepherd Dog Training Club
Description
Duston Village Hall The Duston German Shepherd Dog Training Club (DGSDTC) was formed in 1984. The Club is open to all owners of pedigree German Shepherd Dogs, although we do accept GSDs without pedigree papers e.g. dogs that have been re-homed, rescued etc.
We have qualified and experienced instructors who will do their best to help you and your dog. Our aim is to train you to train your dog to be obedient; the level of obedience is entirely up to you.
Many of our members come along initially with their dog wanting no more than a dog who will walk alongside them when out, without pulling and always tugging at the lead, and to return when called. We have all admired the well-behaved dog in the street, walking nicely by the handler's side. This does take a lot of hard work and patience, however with good guidence and positive reinforcement training this can be achieved!
Members who accomplish an advanced standard of training with their dogs, have the opportunity to join the Pacesetters Dog Display Team
Training Your German Shepherd Dog
We hold an 8-week introductory class, handlers have to complete the course to become Club members and to be accepted into a higher class. During this 8 weeks it helps us to get to know you and you us. Everyone is nervous and probably feels embarrassed the first time we take our dogs onto the floor, but by the end of the 8 weeks you will be able to handle your dog with confidence and be able to move into the next class.
At the end of your 8 weeks, your puppy or dog will be: sitting, loose lead walking, start of sit stays, down stays, basic retrieve and a recall (we hope), but remember - every dog is an individual and over the weeks you will learn a lot about your dog's ability to learn.
