Our Training Program
Hampton Roads Obedience Training Club has evolved over the years to include some of the most up to date, positive training methods in the area.
Our classes are held each Tuesday evening at 7 and 8 P.M. throughout the year.
The course is 8 weekly sessions with generally one week between each course. The cost for the course is $65 and once you have completed one 8 week course you are invited to join the club.
The Beginner classes are based on simple behaviour modification techniques using a reward system to teach basic behaviors. With these basic commands and behaviours
you can teach the dog the rules of the house, have your dog evaluated for
the Canine Good Citizen Test and as a future pet therapy dog.
It is a good place to start for future adventures in competition Obedience,
Rally-O, Agility, or any other performance event.
The advanced class is just that. Taking what you and your dog have learned
in the beginner class and building toward competitive events or just a
well-mannered and controlled companion.
Included in the advanced class are attention, proper teaching techniques
for more precise maneuvers as in turns, sits, stays, etc., how to
execute the various rally behaviours, retrieving, jumping, scent work,
signals and directional work.
Fun is always emphasized for both you and your dog.
Of course one of the objectives of the club is to encourage you to
compete and earn the various AKC titles in any and all of the
performance events.
The club recognizes those teams that accomplish these objectives.
