We love dogs and we want Keshet Kennels to be THE PLACE OF FUN FOR DOGS
AND DOG‑LOVERS, a meeting ground where dog owners interact and network
with other dog owners, and where canine experts share their experience, knowledge
and interests with others.
We believe that group activities are the most effective way of socializing
and exercising your dog, and as such they strengthen the canine ‑ canine,
human ‑ canine, and perhaps human ‑ human relationships as well.
One thing is for sure: dogs need interaction with other dogs.
Here at Keshet Kennels we offer:
- TRAINING COURSES
We understand that different dogs have different abilities and interests,
thus we provide opportunities of all kinds for them, including:
- ORGANIZED EVENTS that
both owners and their canine friends will enjoy, such as:
- Friendly
Competitions, Fun Matches;
- Dog Obedience
Shows;
- Playgroups:
and
- Other similar
events that enhance the human‑canine relationship
- ORGANIZED SEMINARS
AND INFORMATION/LEARNING SESSIONS on issues relevant to dogs welfare, such
as:
- Dog health
issues;
- Legislation,
rules and regulations; and
- Fund-raising
events.
Keshet Kennels serves as an informal meeting place for dog owners and other
canine enthusiasts for exchanging of information, experience sharing, networking,
socializing and facilitating understanding of issues relevant to dogs' welfare.
- RESCUE
An important part of our mission is also to be a Rescue for large
breed dogs.
Training Courses
| Basic Obedience Training ‑ the
emphasis is placed on helping the owners to teach their dogs basic skills
of manners and self control (such as no pulling on a leash, no biting,
no jumping on people, responding to simple commands etc.). |
 |
| Advanced Obedience Training -
provided for dogs whose owners decided to continue the Obedience
Training. The emphasis is placed on mastering communication skills
between the owner and the dog while performing various tasks off‑leash.
The skills taught include: retrieve on command, advanced recall,
off‑leash heeling, off‑leash distance sits, downs and
pick‑ups, out of sight stays, high jump, hand signals, and
tricks. |
|
| Rally-O - it is a fun
take, and combination of, Obedience and Agility Training. The training
is designed to promote positive and lively teamwork between dog and
owner who is encouraged to communicate with the dog verbally and
by using hand signals. There are usually 14‑16 stations, requiring
obedience exercises at each of them. Rally‑O Training teaches
up to as many as 50 exercises which are divided into Basic (on‑leash
demonstration of basic commands), Intermediate (off‑leash demonstration
with at least one jump) and Advanced (off‑leash precise coordination)
skills categories. |
|
| Agility Training ‑
provided for dogs with prior basic training (such as Basic Obedience
Training), which are able to perform tasks off‑leash. During
the training owners will teach their dogs not only to know and obey
specific commands, but also how to conquer obstacles on the course.
The following obstacles and jumps will usually be used in training:
A‑frame, Dog‑Walk, Pause Table, Seesaw, Open Tunnel,
Closed Tunnel, Circle/Tire Jump, etc. The Agility Training is a great
way to get exercise and strengthen the bond between dogs and their
owners. |
|
| Flyball Training -
it is a team sport for dogs and their owners. The training is
available to partially and fully trained dogs. Canines of all
shapes, sizes and breeds can participate, particularly if they
enjoy ball playing. Flyball training is designed not only to
teach the dog specific skills required to play the game such
as: box turns, jumping, coaching, passing, speed and motivation,
but also to teach the owner how to play and what techniques and
tricks to use to achieve best results and enjoyment. |
|
| Search and Rescue Training ‑ to
attend our Search and Rescue classes the dogs must be particularly
well‑socialized; not fearful of or aggressive to humans
or other dogs; not fearful of and able to ignore loud noises,
sudden movements and unstable, hazardous footing. |
