Basic Obedience & Manners
This class is the beginning of your training! Open to all dogs. We work on walking on a loose leash, attention, sit, down and stay. We can also help you with specific problems like jumping up or barking. We use positive methods and lots of praise and treats to keep your dog working happily. Once you mastered the basics you can move on to more advanced obedience or other fun activities like agility, scent work, rally, flyball and more!
Class Schedule:
Basic Obedience and Manners classes are $110 for a 6 week session. Date indicates the first class of the session.
Junior Basic
Junior Basic is Basic Obedience and Manners taught for puppies approximately 6 to 12 months old who have had little to no previous training. There is no pre-requisite for this class. The focus of the class will be on good behavior and manners (social skills) with an emphasis on loos-leash walking and learning sit, down, come, and stay.
Reliable Recall
Does your dog come to you every time you say their name, in different locations, with distractions around?
One of the most important behaviors you can teach your dog is to come when called. This class is designed to teach you and your dog the principles for a really reliable recall. We will work on specific focus exercises and recall work.
For this class, you will need a clicker, a long training lead, a toy and high value treats
Novice Level Fetch Class
If you and your dog enjoy playing ball (Fetch), this class is for you! This new AKC Fetch Program is another opportunity for owners to have fun with their dogs while earning AKC Fetch Titles. This class provides your dog with both physical and mental exercise. This is the first of four levels. Basic skills taught are Fetch, Retrieve and Hold.
Pre-requisite is Basic Obedience. Dogs must be at least 6 months old.
