If your dog could use a little "etiquette training," you may want to visit the Sarasota Obedience Training Club during its open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
The club is hosting the open house as part of the American Kennel Responsible Dog Ownership Day. There will be food, fun and dog sports demonstrations of obedience, flyball, agility, rally, earthdog, tracking and gundog work.
Not sure what those are? Come watch dogs who love what they do.
The Sarasota Obedience Training Club facility is at 7505 County Road 675 in Manatee County. For more information, visit its website: sotcdogtraining.com.
After the open house, you may decide to take the little nipper (no pun intended) to an obedience class. The next beginner's class level 1 (also known as companion dog obedience) starts at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 25 at SOTC. This class, for pups 5 months or older, meets once a week for six weeks for 50-60 minutes a class. The fee is $95.
Handlers will learn to train their dogs using basic cues in a group situation using only positive training methods and positive reinforcement (no correction or punishment). Basic behaviors taught include attention, sit, down, come, heel, wait, loose leash walking, stand, take it, leave it, stay, distraction work and more.
Details can be found at the SOTC website.
