Pet Obedience Class Instruction

Is it possible to teach pet dog obedience classes without physical compulsion or coercion of any kind? Can an all “positive” pet

obedience class be successful? Yes! And the students love it! Leslie illustrates enlightened techniques she uses in her “Family Dog” program for instructing pet obedience classes, behavior consultations, and problem solving. She introduces the Really Reliable Recall in her class instruction and her program for balancing the pet owner and dog relationship through the relationship PEGS (Playing, Eating, Grooming, Sleeping).

This lecture was one of 5 videos resulting from a weekend seminar in 1996, “Power of Positive Training” featuring Ted Turner, Leslie Nelson and Patty Ruzzo. All of the presentations are available in the companion DVDs of the Classics of Training Collection.
