VIPET  BASIC  OBEDIENCE   GROUP CLASS
Picture
VIPet's basic obedience group class is for dogs five months and older whom have not been through the puppy imprinting class.  This group class will max out at four dogs for a one hour session in our training facility.  Unlike other companies who will get upwards to ten dogs in their classes, Theresa feels that anything over the four dog limit will take away from each dogs much needed quality time. These group classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and are six weeks long. If your dog has aggression issues, this is not the class for you. Theresa will discuss other options for that situation, always pairing the right dog training for your dog from the many options VIPet has to offer. 

This is what separates Theresa from others, the ability to recognize each individual  dogs wants and needs and putting them in the appropriate program to succeed.  While in this class, Theresa will inquire exactly what it is you want to focus on for your dog. Besides the basic commands you will learn ( place, sit, down, free and come) she will also address other issues. Jumping, barking, mouthing,  leash handling and counter surfing are just a few to mention. 


While attending the basic obedience group class please feel free to ask any question or concern you may have. Being a certified vet tech also, Theresa brings much more to the table than dog training. You may have questions on nutrition, when to neuter/spay, dog body language, proper collar/leash and the list goes on. She is more than happy assisting in all phases of owning a dog. 

One of many of her dog world traits is working with numerous animal shelters. These shelters are full everywhere and inundated with dog behavioral problems, which tops the list of why they are there.  VIPet offers free classes to newly adopted dogs and fosters from Rescue Garage, a local shelter in North Port.  Her goal is to help train these often abused dogs to become the best they can be to keep them from being returned back to these over crowded shelters.  Once you get to know Theresa, you will find out it is not all about the money....it is all about her passion....the dogs.

 Also, after your six week basic obedience class ends your dog may develop bad behaviors. She wants you to get a hold of her ASAP to help you nip it in the butt( not literally) with suggestions and helpful tips from her vast knowledge and experience.......determination for your dog to succeed

Please contact Theresa to discuss this program in greater detail. Sooner the better, for your dog is learning every minute, whether that is good learning or bad learning.

What Our Clients Are Saying

My wife and I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Rooney attended Theresa’s puppy kindergarten when she was a pup and it was a great class and introduction to the basics. When Roo turned 1 year old we did a lot of research on continuing training with Roo. We interviewed many trainer’s about their board and train programs. Some good and some not so good. We needed to feel assured that Roo would be safe and receive the proper training she needs. We knew how great Theresa is and why were we wasting our time interviewing others?! We contacted Theresa and scheduled Roo’s 3 week program. Roo stayed in Theresa’s home and was part of her pack which was very important to us. Theresa sent us videos and updates which made us feel good. After the 3 weeks,Theresa trained us and followed up @ our house to check on Roo. Roo now does all her commands and is a pleasure on our walks. Roo is a happier dog now that she knows her boundaries. As I’m writing this, Roo is on her “place” behaving 😀. Theresa is the best and we highly recommend her. Thank you Theresa for making our lives more calm 😎😎😎  J. Gaffney
