Presuming you have reserved your new Hoytt Dobe in advance of it turning eight weeks of age, the pup at eight weeks of age begins the introduction to 'lead' control. Within seven to ten days the pup enters a quiet period of one week for ear crop and healing of the ears. From this point having the pup already walking on the lead, the following weeks will take him through this course, a course best described as the Canine Kindergarten, the true foundation of the adult Dobe's obedience control. Placement as young as 18 weeks of age.

The program is set on a six day a week three times a day 'outing,' a combination of play times and instruction which will eventually see the young canine student learn heel on lead, sit at the instructor's left side, and come. Come is practiced formally on a twenty foot tether line and without the tether line during free time (when the pup is just out enjoying the freedom of the yard). The student also learns to down stay with the handler circling at a distance of the tether line. Sit stay is also taught using the distance of the tether line as a guide. In effect, this course prepares the pup for the next stage of refinement through practice and detailing. Cost $1,975.00

You as the pup's owner can take it from here using the Study Time Video Guide that will be sent to you upon receiving your deposit. This is a complimentary instructional but for those who have purchased a Hoytt Dobe without training or those with Dobes acquired from an other source Study Time can be purchased in dependably.
