At Stephen, I heard that it will cost about RM 1500 just only for the obedience class. I overheard this when a lady standing beside me asking to one of them....and another RM 2000-2500 ( if i'm not mistaken) to train your dog as a guard dog....

Hi Yip Wee Lian,

You can train your own dog. Just get some good books and work around it.
I was too late in registering my doggie for training with MKA and I am desperate to get my doggie on training so I invested in books .
Pros and cons of training on our own is as follows:-

Pros
(1) You can used your own method as long as you communicate to the dog what you want it to do.
(2) You need not worry about having a lousy trainer.
(Sometimes that happens ie just like there are good and bad teachers in school there are also good and bad dog trainers).

Cons
(1) You will need to work alone with your dog. If you go to training classes you have a large group so your dog learns to work in a group.

(2) You have a trainer watch you handling the dog to give you feedbacks. Yes not only will your doggie be learning so will you.

As for the any training centers in JB sorry I have no idea.

Good luck

Cheng See

Many doggie cheers,

Cheng See

Re: [TohCS] Any place has dog training besides MKA?? [In reply to]	Can't Post

Thanks! Cheng See,

Actually, i m started trained her since i brought her home, sit - lay down - stand up - wait - fetch - come back and shake hand, but sometime she refused to follow my instructions and alway show me her face" so boring".ai Mad

And, she is "too friendly" & "excited" when meet strangers. Sometimes, I have to hug her to forced her cool down a bit. She is a huge breed dog - St. Bernard!!!!!!! she is 9 months old now, how long i still can hug her anymore when her getting bigger.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your reply. Can u recommend some books for me?

kwee lian.

Hi YipWeeLian,

Glad to hear you have move on to train your doggie on your own. CONGRATULATIONS!
There are various areas of training:-
(1) Housetraining
(2) Obedience training
(3) Agility training.
(4) Trick Training

I know what you mean about having to 'stop' your doggie from bouncing on other people especially a StBernard. If she bounce on me I will be flat Laugh

.

Wkser is right about treats to motivate your doggie. However it also depens on what your doggie prefers. Some doggie prefer to have their favourite toy as a reward. Which ever way you will need to fade off the treat once the dog have learn.

My beagle also gets bored when I kept on training her the same over and over again. I am registering her for a obedience trail this coming show in Sept.
YES I am risking embarasing Blush

myself. But then I think to myself I need the experience and so does Belle my beagle. So "Why Not?" .
Anyway back to the issue of a bored doggie....besides obedience training and housetraining insert in some fun trick training.
Get the "Dog Trick for Dummies" book . The the doggie will get to learn new things everytime .

As for leaping on people, I know this is not easy. Sometimes you will need corporation from visitors as well. For example I am stopping Belle from jumping on people by giving her a firm NO and when she stops the leaping I will praise her. But unfortunately out of politeness most people will say "Oh it's okay" Come Belle, come on my lap". EErghh.... they are confusing the poor doggie.

By the way I am using positive training method.
If you would like to find out more
email me at .

Happy training.

Many doggie cheers,

Cheng See

In the obedience trials / competitions, do we just need to get our dog to do a set of commands, or are there ways we need to administer these commands?

ie. does if matter what sign language or word i use to get luckey to sit/stay/down etc?

Re: [luckey] Any place has dog training besides MKA?? [In reply to]	Can't Post

There are four classes of obedience trail organized by MKA. They are :-

Pre Novice
Novice
Intermediate
Open

For example, the test for the Pre Novice Class is as follow (by Arthur in another thread) :-

Quote

For Pre-Novice, the following will be tested:

Heelwork - Walking on leash with handler,normal pace. The team (ie. you and the doggie) will be judged on your responses to these commands: Forward,Halt, Right turn, Left turn,Stand & About turn. Next would be the figure of 8 heelwork.

Recall (on leash) - Sit the dog, walk about 6 ft in front, call the dog. Dog comes and sits in front of the handler, handler issues the finish command, dog moves behind the handler to resume the heel position on the left side.

Sit stay (off leash)- Sit the dog, remove the leash, issue the stay command, leave the dog, walk about 20ft away, about turn & face the dog. Wait 30sec. Return to the dog and resume the heel position. The dog's front paws should NOT leave contact with the ground. (otherwise the dog would automatically be disqualified!)

Down stay (off leash) - Same as sit stay above except you down the dog before moving away. Wait 1 minute. Dog should NOT stand up otherwise it'll auto disqualified. Dog can shift about but the body must NOT leave contact with the ground.

Passing mark is 75 for pre-novice.

For the Novice Class, the Trial will be more difficult and the handler is not allowed to issue double command. There is also a need to go off leash for the Novice Class.

Why don't you drop by on 29Sep02 from 4-6pm at Padang Merbuk, Jalan Gasing PJ to observe the Canine Good Citizen,Pre-Novice and Novice exams? I'll be there to take the CGC exam for my youngest furkid (10mths)

And regarding the Pre-Novice Passing mark, there's a correction..it should be 70 and NOT 75. (75 is for Novice) My mistake when I first posted that info.

Will these exams be on every Sunday, coz I might not be able to come this Sunday. Would love to watch!

Hey when you say exam, what do you get at the end, a cert? or is it a competition where you can win? Also, when you win a show or obedience class what do you get? A ribbon or prizemoney as well? thanks :)

Goodness no! There's no exam every Sunday..if so, where got fun-lah! Crazy

Sept29 is the scheduled exam date for CGC, Pre-Novice & Novice levels. After Sept29, there'll be a 2 week break and on graduation day, (normally on a Saturday) you'll know whether you have passed or not. For CGC, your dog will get a medal plus a bag of dogfood from our kind sponsors while you'll get a cert.

For championship obedience trails (normally held only 3 times a year), there'll be a trophy & big bag of dogfood for the top 4 places for each category ie. Pre-Novice, Novice, Intermediate, Open. In addition, all those who qualify for their respective levels will get an certificate as well. Sorry, no prize money involved.

Well I feel in love with them bearded rascals, the miniature schnauzers. So much so that I have 3 of them.. starting with Pepper (2yrs,female), Lee-Sha (1.5yrs,female) and Lee-Ron (10mths,Male). Pepper has just qualified in the recent obedience trails in the Novice class, whereas Lee-Sha has also qualified for her Pre-Novice as well. The youngest one is going to take his CGC exam on 29Sept.

Hope to see you and Luckey soon at the padang...

Yes, it's always a special feeling when you have your own dog. I'm sure Luckey will do well in her obedience training. What the instructors teach us at the padang is just 10%. The remaining 90% of the training goes to the handler(that's us!) to train with our furkids at home. Personally, I find the time spent training together helps to foster a closer bond between me and the doggies.
