Heelwork to Music Course - Do you have a dog that needs more stimulation than just walking?  Find obedience training boring?  Or just want to have some fun and form a better bond together?  Well, I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have now devised a new training course which will tick all of those boxes and more.  The Heelwork To Music Course is my latest idea to improve your dog’s behaviour and have fun at the same time.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with heelwork to music, it is basically a choreographed routine to music incorporating obedience (heelwork, sit, down, etc.) with tricks to create an overall entertaining routine.  In this course, you the handler will have 8 weeks to obtain the following from scratch:

- Choose & teach your dog 5 tricks from a pre-written list                                    - Teach your dog a required element chosen by the instructor                             - Choose a good piece of music                                                                             - Choreograph a routine to the music incorporating all 5 chosen tricks and the required element                                                                                                        - Rehearse the routine

The 8th week of each course you will have to perform your finished routine in front of a panel of judges and will get scored on various categories, such as music choice, technical ability and entertainment value.  The double act who impresses the judges the most and comes away with the highest score gets a certificate and a rosette for their trouble!  This is a very intensive course and will require a lot of effort, but I can’t tell you how much fun heelwork to music is and how rewarding it will be when you manage to turn your dog around in just 8 weeks.  It takes the seriousness out of obedience!!!

NEW!!!!  Flyball Course - A fun and energetic course for those of you with dogs who love playing with toys.  Flyball is famously demonstrated by Border Collies at dog shows such as Crufts but is great fun for any breed of dog with a lot of energy & a playful nature.  This course is both mentally & physically stimulating for your dog with the emphasis firmly on you having fun together.  The rules are simple.  You need to teach your dog to jump 3 jumps in a straight line, retrieve a ball from the Flyball box & return to you over the same 3 jumps.  You can't accompany the dog & if he drops the ball or runs round the jump he loses points.  A lot harder than it sounds! 6 week course, 1 session per week.  Class capped at 6 dogs.

NEW!!!!  Rally Obedience - Rally Obedience is the latest doggy trend sweeping America.  In short, the dog and handler must complete a course of designated stations (approximately 10). All the stations are numbered & each of them has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed, such as ‘Halt & Sit Down’, ‘Left About Turn’ or ‘Down & 10 second Stay’.  Scoring is not as rigorous as traditional obedience and the emphasis is put on a smiling owner and a wagging tail.  Infact, with Rally Obedience points are actually deducted for harsh commands or over excessive force because the whole point is that it’s a relaxed obedience contest where anybody, even kids, can enter and just enjoy doing something with their dogs.  There are 4 stages of difficulty; Novice, Intermediate, Advanced & Excellent.  The number of stations & the difficulty of instructions will increase with each new stage of competence. 

The beauty of Rally Obedience is that there’s no need for a fixed course because it’s an ongoing sport where you can continue to improve your finishing score the more you attend. So, as with the play groups, these classes are held on a 'pay as you go' system, just turn up on the day.  This way, each time you attend a class it will be equally as much fun because not only will you be working towards improving your previous score, but you’ll also have different teams to compete against so no two classes will be the same.

For more information, please call the number above or email info@paphos-dog-training.com

The cost of Rally Obedience is €10 per team, per class

Group classes are a fantastic way to, not only train your dog, but also to socialise him.  It's also a great place for both dog and owner to make new friends.......    

FEEDBACK FOR GROUP TRAINING CLASSES

I would just like to say a HUGE thank you.  The agility course was so much fun, don't know who enjoyed it more - me or Fudge (honestly, I would say me!!!)  Keep up the great work Lindsay. x - Ann & Fudge, Agility Course

We can see every day how much better George is as a result of the training - his sit-stays, returns, lets us through doors and gates first etc - all are evidence of what he learnt.  He is also particularly good at obeying the "leave" command.  The course was absolutely fabulous.  We both thought that the areas covered for beginners was just right.  We also both think that it gave both us and George far more confidence in each other.  It was also great fun!! - Karen, Keith & George, Obedience Course

Excellent!  Training was very good, just like I expect. Many thanks for the teacher! - Maile & Jordan, Obedience Course

We really did enjoy this course.  Pity Jude didn't think it was necessary to jump the jumps, but, hey, you can't have everything.......!!! - Val & Jude, Flyball Course

The service was excellent.  Thank you. - Angela & Maya, Obedience Course

I was very pleased with what you did, especially your kindness in giving Prince a private first lesson so that we were able to catch up with what the group had learnt in their first lesson. Your help & encouragement brought out the best in the dog and he really tried hard to learn how to do what we wanted even though he is quite a big, heavy chap. Thanks very much,  we both really enjoyed the course. - Diana & Prince, Agility Course

Emma and I enjoyed our training sessions and both of us benefited from Lindsay's help and advice. Definitely a worthwhile experience. Thanks, Lindsay. - Carole & Emma, Obedience Course

Just to let you know that Chalky, Charlie and I had a brilliant time doing the agility course, our Saturdays are not the same!  When we started on the first day I thought, there is no way these two are going to do any of this, but I was proven wrong!!!  Thank you! - Libby, Chalky & Charlie, Agility Course

I sincerely do not know of any improvements you could make.  It was a great learning curve for us both.  Thank you for all your hard work and attention.  You are fab!! - Ann & Fudge, Obedience Course

Georgia and I believe that it was very important to us and especially to Spot to take part in your course because we learned how to react in several occasions that involve his obedience and his general behaviour. Now, we find it more easy to handle our little baby and helped us decide to adopt one of his future babies. Thank you very much, it was a lovely and fun experience and we believe that the whole course was value for money - Nikolas, Georgia & Spot, Obedience Course

Jasmine and I are quite sad this course has come to the end for us as we enjoyed it so much for lots of reasons other than the agility side of it.  It helped Jasmine learn some doggy manners whilst around other dogs, then rewarded with a playful 'run around' has worked wonders for her as she never really had the chance to do that here in Paphos with the restrictions of letting your dog off without a lead.  The course is BRILLIANT and brings a real bond between dog and handler.  We had so much fun doing this and a great way for us both to get fit!  Thanks again Lindsay for your excellent expert advice and coaching to get Jasmine over that see saw!  Keep up the good work, you're the best!!!  - Karen & Jasmine, Agility Course

I found the class good particularly with a small group and felt, as I have said, big progress was made.  She disrupted class once or twice but will always be mischievous I think!  She did try hard though and did really well.  Trying my hardest to think of something negative but can't!! - Jen & Gully, Intermediate Obedience Course

I enjoyed the course very much and so did Vassilis.  I found everything in it very very helpful and fun which is a great combination! I also liked the fact that there were lots of different breeds on the course, diversity is helpful for the dogs as well as the owners!  Thank you for everything - Dorothea, Vassilis & Snoopy, Obedience Course

Thank you for an enjoyable training course, your training expertise and the fun we had.  Look forward to seeing you again in September for the Agility Course! - Ann & Sasha, Obedience Course

Agility course was good fun -- Jude and I enjoyed it immensely.  Can't think of anything you could have done better.  You were on hand when anyone needed you. - Val & Jude, Agility Course

Many thanks for the pics. And, yes, it was a good course.  It was also a good cross-section of dogs and, especially, people.  We certainly enjoyed their company.  And, yes, you're right, I don't think Peter will ever see a figure of eight in quite the same way!!!!  We'll continue with the good work you put in. Well done, you! - Val & Jude, Intermediate Obedience Course 

                                              
Thanks for the course. We enjoyed it and enjoyed the progress with Pudding and I think the value for money was fair.  Have a great summer and we'll be back for the agility in September - Ann & Pudding, Obedience Course

I thought the intermediate course was very good for Jake.  He was able to achieve longer stays and it improved his obedience when there were distractions of other dogs.  I never thought I would be able to have him off the lead and walk around other dogs and him not want to jump all over them.  When I think back to last August after I first got Jake and would cry on the walk because he would nip me when things weren't going his way I am so pleased he seems to have finally realised we can have fun together without him inflicting pain on me.  I feel that our bond has improved with the help of all your training and can't wait to start heelwork to music!  I would like to go on the next intermediate course with my other dog Evie after the summer break please, I don't think she will ever be as obedient as Jake but I can but try! - Laura & Jake, Intermediate Obedience Course

Hi Lindsay, just to let you know that if you ever need a reference for your classes for potential customers, feel free to give them my number and tell them to call me.  We really enjoyed the course and although we couldn't complete it due to Molly's health, the most important thing we took away from it was the anti poison training as Molly did have a tendency to pick things up in her mouth when out walking.  Thanks very much - Kevin & Molly, Obedience Course

Thanks a lot Lindsay. We all enjoyed the experience, though I don't know that Cleo is likely to become a Flyball champ! - Carole & Cleo, Flyball Course

That was a great class Lindsay - thanks- and I'm saying that not just as a dog owner but as an OLD Infant teacher!  I hope you're as pleased with your pupils as I'm sure all of us must be.  Although it's helped Lucky heaps it's probably been even better for me as I was frightened of dogs for many years but, thanks to you and Lucky, I feel happier about handling him now.  Can't think of any improvements to your Obedience course as, for me, it was perfect. - Jean & Lucky, Obedience Course
