This is Shadow. He has a lot of problems that we are going to fix together so that he can go to a forever home.

Magic always enjoys learning new tricks.

Ray Underwood and Magic demonstrating back weaves

Many of Ray's students are enrolled in our canine freestyle classes. They find that it is a great way to bond with their dog, while having fun at the same time. Freestyle involves teaching your dog many different movements and tricks. It can be adapted to any dog or any breed as the guidelines do not restrict what tricks can be performed. The possibilities are endless. Below is Ray Underwood and Magic demonstrating the "back weave", which Ray invented about 20 years ago. Let us know which tricks your dog loves to perform.

Here is another example of training in a "real life" setting.

The skill of Come/Recall is one of the most important taught in all levels of our obedience classes. Who has had a dog bolt out of the front door? The command "come" will help to prevent your dog from running out and visiting an aggressive dog on the street, will prevent your dog from jumping all over an unappreciative pedestrian, will prevent your dog from getting hit by a car, and many more... As soon as your dog starts to bolt, you would simply say "come" and your dog would come running back to you. At Underwood's Dog Obedience we can help you with this skill. Can anyone else think of other reasons why the recall is so important? Here is a short clip of "Cato", the Tervuren, perfecting his recall in the backyard of our Brookswood training centre.

Dog Training is a great hobby for all ages. Here is a short clip of 13 year old Lucas , teaching his Mixed Breed Bernese , how to do the "crawl".

Canine Freestyle

After finishing the pet classes, many of Ray's students decide to continue on with various dog sports as a hobby. Ray offers one such dog sport called Canine Freestyle. This is a short video of a team routine that his students are working on. The routine is still in the beginning stages, but you will be able to see some of the fun tricks that the dogs learn in these classes: Going backwards around the handler, weaving through legs backwards and forwards, etc. etc. Enjoy!

"Kevin" Stay

Here is little "Kevin" from Scottsdale Veterinary Hospital. He is doing very well in the level one class, as can be seen by his fantastic "stay" at a distance.

Here is a short clip of two dogs in the level 3 class . They are learning to maintain a down stay at a distance for 5 minutes. 1 minute of which is displayed in this video.

Here is a short clip of one of the many tricks that are taught in our canine freestyle classes. As you can see, the dogs just love learning new and innovative skills. This is Joan and her Sheltie, Poet. If you are interested in this fun class contact Ray Underwood at 604-625-6121.
