Their dogs have won over 300 American & Canadian
titles, numerous Dog World Awards of Canine Distinction and FRONT & FINISH AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE and over 300 titlesfor their
consecutively high scores, literally hundreds of trophies and thousands of
ribbons. Nancy has trained and handled their 8 multiple High In Trial
winners and over 35 dogs with multiple 1st place wins in obedience competitions,
and over 10 champion obedience title holders, which include group and best in
show wins with breeds such as Cocker Spaniels, Akitas, Irish Setters, Labradors,
Papillons, German Shepherds, Bearded Collies, Border Collies and a Sheltie.
At Anelanai, we offer basic and advanced
(off leash) obedience training. We teach competitive obedience (novice, open &
utility) and rally (novice, advanced & excellent) with complete regulation
courses for those students who want to compete. Our students do very
well. Seven of our students won their obedience class their 1st time in the ring
(3 went High In Trial!). All of our students who have competed have won or
placed in their classes.
We offer 6 week private classes--just you, family members and the dog.... We meet once a week for 6 weeks for approximately an hour to an hour and a half.... dogs are taught heel, sit, stay, down, come, no jumping, etc.... We also address all behavioral issues you might be having--chewing, housebreaking, aggressiveness, etc. We gave up doing group classes for two reasons--one, if someone missed a class it was really hard for them to make it up; secondly, EVERY dog came in at a different level and with different issues.... hence we went to private classes that are catered to each dogs' specific needs/problems. Also, if something comes up and you can not make it to a class, you can just call us and you won't lose the class. You may either pay up front or we offer payment arrangements for weekly classes. (These are NOT like the chain pet store classes where you sit in a circle and feed your dog! Your pups will learn more in our 6 week class than 32 weeks at the chain pet store classes!) and we don't use food! You use your voice because you'll always have that--not having to be running for a "treat"! ![]()
At Anelanai we
believe the sooner training is started the better for your dog and your family.
We start puppies at 10-12 weeks of age,
before they develop problems. We like to train “rescue” dogs within 5-7 days of adoption. Why? Because they are still at the "honeymoon stage" and aren't quite sure & comfortable yet. This is the optimum time to establish control, boundaries & structure. If you wait until they are "comfortable" the dog has the "upper paw" and starts reverting back to the behavior that got him into rescue to begin with! It's typically NOT the dogs' fault--they've probably had no training or enough attention paid to them and tragically, the previous owners just passed the problem on. But as new owners you must take control of the situation--offering food, security and trust; and at the same time establishing the boundaries that will make him a wonderful pet. This is just as important as the adoption process!
If we can be of further help or if you have any questions please feel free to email or call us at 478-956-3253. ANELANAI DOG TRAINING
We have 2 locations, one in Byron
and one in Warner Robins, Georgia. We can also come to your home. Another option
is for us to keep the dog for 3 to 3 1/2 weeks and we train the dog for you (we
still meet with you weekly to familiarize you with the commands) Any way you
chose we can make you and your dog a successful training team. References
cheerfully supplied.
