Hello Everyone at Hightest,
We finally had a moment to say hi and let you know how our dog Doogan is doing. Doogan came to you for the six week obedience course. He is doing just fine. He is about 10 months old now and still has his puppy moments. We work with him almost on a daily basis and he follows the commands well. He is getting better at listening to our youngest who is 6, she doesn't let him push her aroung like he used to. He really does great off leash, he listens so good even when there are distractions such as people or other dogs around. Thank you so much for the hard work and great care you gave Doogan while he was with you. You really helped him become such a wonderful part of our family. Hope everyone there is well and have a great summer.
Sincerely,
Tom, Jill, Jessica,
and Amanda Newland

The Hightest obedience course is six weeks and costs $1,000.00. It is for all breeds of medium to large size
dogs, six months or older. The dogs stay at the kennel during their training
and are housed in individual runs. Half the fee is due in advance and the other
half when you pick up your dog. Pre-scheduled, one-on-one, owner training
sessions with you and the trainer are included in the fee, as well as follow
up sessions you may need. We feed Purina Pro Plan Performance diet, which is a top rated dog food. We will feed specialized diets and administer medications you provide, free of charge.
Obedience training helps
make dogs more manageable and responsive to commands. An obedient dog is a joy
to own and a rewarding family companion. We instruct you how to discipline and
work with your dog in an organized, step-by-step program. Obedience training
does not change the nature of the dog or address behaviors such as aggression,
excessive barking, digging or housebreaking. Feel free to call and we will be
happy to discuss what training solutions may be available to address your dog's
specific problems.
| We provide a high quality, positive learning experience for dogs and their owners. |

Our obedience trainers encourage the dogs to reach their full potential with
praise and training exercises that are fun. We also have an excellent handler
training program that makes it easy for you to learn how to discipline and work
with your dog effectively. It is best if you can come up at least three times
during the six weeks for a one on one, instructional session with your dog and
the trainer. These one hour sessions can be scheduled a few days in
advance.
We promise
to care for
your dog as
if it were
our own!
|
For most of the obedience training, we use a six foot leash and choke chain collar.
We use pinch collars for larger, strong dogs that are
more difficult for their owners to manage. The remote electronic collar is used
to reinforce commands and is especially effective in teaching dogs to come when
they are called, under all conditions, regardless of distracting circumstances.
The dogs are generally worked in two short training sessions daily with a time
out to play, swim, or retrieve.
Experience the joy of a Hightest obedience trained dog!
