Dog Health Questions: Dog Training Classes- what would you like to learn?

I am a dog trainer who normally goes to client's homes and helps with specific dog problems, but in January will be teaching a twice- weekly dog class to 8 dogs and their owners. Because I am often told what the owners want to work on, I don't have to come up with topics to teach in my normal training sessions.
My question is: What topics would you like covered if you were attending my dog training class? (8 classes will be indoors, the other 8 will be outdoors.)

So You Want a Guard Dog, Eh? (Basic Dog Training)



Recommended Answer:
I don't have a dog, but from my experiences:

1. Keeping dogs off of furniture.
2. Keeping them from jumping the fence.
3. Behavior around small children.

Would be my top three for sure.

Mat Or Place Training is an Important Dog Training Tool - Part Two


  • Because we have an exceptionally smart and well trained dog I can't think of anything that would pertain to him but I think teaching a dog to NOT jump up on people is a must.

  • How to prevent jealousy between my dogs?

    How come my dogs seem to respect me more than other members of my household..

    How can I teach my dogs to walk on a leash without using pinch collars.

  • Can my Pit get along with other dogs without going ballistic? She is 2years old and she met a half pit (almost 2 years old too) and she attacked the half pit. Yet, she lives with 4 other dogs - 3 males and 1 female. The female she isn't exposed to since the female is sorta of an aggressive Caine Corso.

  • how to say "yes"
    how to say "no"
    (my dog does those- he did it all by himself. he spins for "yes' and sits for 'no'. it's great. )
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    not to 'grumble' and bark when hubby and i hug.
    (my dog does that, too.-but we 'won' a trainer for an hour ,in a raffle, and we are going to work on that one.)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    how about, teach them to understand "Excuse Me', for when they are standing smack dab in the way.
    (i swear..mine knew this one, til my sister's dog came over and taught him he didn't HAVE to listen)

    'fetch' is a fun one.
