Training Equipment and Prices

Training head halters are fitted at the first lesson, as trainers we have done extensive training in the correct fitting of training head halters, it is critical for your puppy / dog; to have a positive experience and for you as an owner not to end up in a tug of war with your puppy / dog. This can set the pace for disaster and make it extremely unenjoyable for you and your puppy / dog to continue with dog training in a positive manner.

You will be taught the correct technique to use this training equipment to achieve the best possible results.

If your puppy grows out of their head halter, so long as it has been purchased at Sankiri and is in good condition you will be able to trade it in on another head halter when the time is right.

• Training head halter $30.00 all sizes + Training leads $25.00 = $55.00 total
• Purchase the set and pay only $50.00, discount $5.00

Occasionally, not all training head halter and lead colors are in stock, wherever possible the color selected will be supplied.

These are for you to keep, all dogs must use a training head halter to participate in Sankiri Dog Training. Anyone not wanting their dog to use a training head halter will not be able to participate unless their reasons are due to breed type no mussel on dog etc, please contact Lorraine for further information before enrolling.

Would you like to train your dog to a higher level?
Further information is available by request after your enrolment is confirmed, the following levels are:
 

• Intermediate - Extending all the previous exercises from the basic obedience & behavioural 10 week course to a higher level, which you have completed from the basic obedience & behavioural course. At the conclusion of the intermediate level, we are now expecting our dogs to offer the exercises on command only, with very little re-commands.
• Advanced Level One -This is the level where we now start to complete all the exercises that we have learnt. We will start to work our dogs on collar and less on the training head halter. By now you should have built a very strong communication / bond / leadership relationship with your dog. Our aim it to work your dog on collar and head towards the off lead stage.
• Advanced Level Two - This is our off lead level; you will find that there are still some exercises that you will need to fully achieve before taking your dog completely off the lead. By now you have an extremely high level of knowledge, communication and respect both between you and your dog. This is also a proofing stage, where we challenge to a much higher level all the exercises that we have learnt. For example can we take any / all of what we have learnt from the basic obedience & behavioural course through to the advanced level two course and make it work for us at any given time or place regardless of where we are.
• Canine Communication & Socialisation (this level is open to any owners / handlers / dogs that have attended and completed the basic obedience & behavioural 10 week course.
  • Dogs will learn to play and interact together in a nice manner without bullying each other.
  • Dogs will be allowed to play off lead so long as they are not aggressive and the owner / handler have full control.
  • Dogs that have any form of aggression will be required to be strictly on lead, be monitored and assessed by Sankiri Dog Training at all times.
  • Any dog owner / handler that is assessed as being able to try coming off lead must stay with their dog at all times, and be capable of reading their dogs behaviour well before a situation arises.
  • Learn to recall your dog back from distraction (whilst playing with other dogs etc), you won't get more distraction than this.
