NEW ZONES TRAINING PROGRAM
HELD EXCLUSIVELY AT THE CRATE ESCAPE AND THE CRATE ESCAPE TOO!

WHAT IS IT?   Do you really want to have a well trained dog, but just can’t find the time to commit on an regular basis?  Can you make it to some of the classes but need to miss a few?  No PROBLEM!  With this new approach, you will be able to come to class on YOUR terms, and follow YOUR schedule. Instead of a traditional training class where you need to attend each lesson or fall behind, ZONES training allows you to jump right in to any class and pick up wherever you left off, whether it was last week or last MONTH!

HOW DOES IT WORK?  Quite simply, you register for a series of sessions, be it 6, 12 or a lifetime!  After attending one orientation seminar you and your dog can come to any session offered, at any time!  Each lesson builds on itself, so you will always find you and your dog being challenged and learning new skills, but NOT overwhelmed if you should have to miss a week or two.  You get to work at your own pace as you and your dog progress through the different zones!

By the end of each zone of training, your dog will: 

ZONE 1

● Greet friends and strangers appropriately  ● Learn to respond to his/her name EVERYTIME! ● Focus Game - watch your human when distractions are present  ● Learn to begin to walk on a loose leash   ● Learn to lie down in a RELAXED manner   ● Learn to “Go to Bed,” or retreat to a comfy place

 ZONE 2

● Sit, Stand and Lie down with a verbal cue only  ● Sit politely for petting or a brief exam  ● Come when called reliably  ● Walk on a loose lead with a distraction present  ● Sit and Wait reliably  ● Leave an object in an owners hand or on the ground  ● Longer relaxed down waits  ● Sit and stay with other dogs present. 

ZONE 3

● Come when called while passing another dog or human  ● Walk on loose lead past multiple distractions ● Leave objects on the floor while walking past  ● Reliably execute an extended sit wait and down wait  with owner moving away  ● Meet friendly people and dogs on the street.

Please join us for a FREE orientation!

UNDERGROUND FENCING

Ultimate Companions highly supports the use of Pet Stop - Pet Fence Systems as a method of containment for your dog.  However, we have found that proper training is critical to insuring your dog understands and respects the boundaries of the fence system.  If you would like to learn more about Underground fencing, or if you would like us to do your training for you, contact us to set up an appointment.
