Question by moonkissedwarrior: What is the best breed of dog for obedience training?
I need 2 dogs for a training program for a school and I am having trouble thinking of the breed to buy. I wanted to stay away from the most common choices like golden retrievers and labs, and go for a different breed.
I need one breed that would be awesome around people and great in obedience trials
I also need a different breed to do scent detection, It must have a high ball drive.
Best answer:
Answer by BYBs are losers. Spay & neuter
German Shepherd all the way, I don’t care how common they would excel at this any day.

Question by sweet shoota: What do most basic dog obedience classes teach? What do the trainers at petsmart teach your dog?
Are the classes worth the money or is it stuff that I can teach them myself?

Answer by S. M.
Its kinda worth it. They teach you (or the dog) sit, paw, roll over, bang bang your dead, stay, leave it, come here. And a few others. It was fun.

Question by Question_ Person90: At what age should you take your new puppy to obedience classes?
What is an appropriate age to take your puppy to puppy classes? When I get it, she will be 2 months. And, what Obedience Class would you recommend?
Best answer:
Answer by Loki ? Wolfchild
Most Puppy Kindergarten classes are open to puppies from 8 weeks old to 4 months old. You might want to wait until she’s had a least 2-3 sets of vaccinations.
I would certainly recommend a Puppy K class – excellent socialization for the puppy, as well as basic obedience, and dealing with puppy-specific problems (housebreaking, nipping/biting, etc.). Most local kennel clubs or dog training clubs offer these classes.

Question by Brittney: Obedience Classes?
I feel the need to take my dog to some obedience classes, but I feel that if I do shes going to be the angry aggressive dog that annoys everyone. I just want to help her out, and get her out into the world and be confident. To those of you that have been to the classes, are a lot of the dogs aggressive towards the other dogs??

Answer by JA12
> are a lot of the dogs aggressive towards the other dogs??
Not often, but there are usually some. But the teacher will keep this well under control and separate the timid from the bold.
Classes will socialize your dog and teach her how to behave in public.
It is rare, unless you have loads of time to take her out and about in all environments for a dog to be adequately socialized in a home environment.
A trained dog makes a wonderful companion animal and less of a problem to the world at large.

Question by John: When should I start boxer puppy obedience training?
I’ve just picked up our new puppy, gotten him home and setup his little play pen. Maybe someone can tell me when and how to start early obedience puppy training? As I know sometimes others wait too long and are faced with a stubborn, messy adolescent dog. I’d like to avoid it because i guess boxer dogs has strong character.
