About Dog Training...

Emma is walking great! The real test was this morning since there were birds and squirrels in the back yard. Normally she would be dragging us across the yard towards them, but she knew better then to pull and we were very impressed.

FOUNDATIONS Class - For puppies and dogs that have not participated in a formal training class. Students do not have to wait to join a class as long as there is space available. Call as soon as you can commit to 6 consecutive weeks and are ready for your dog to become your 'best friend.' Something new is discussed each week and you get a new skill to work on, too!
Foundations classes are offered at two different times:
LEVEL 1 - Level 1 is a beginning class is for any age dog that has completed a Puppy or Foundations class. Together you and your dog will learn important daily living skills, like walking on a leash, staying in a sit or down with distractions, and coming when called. You will also be introduced to relationship enhancing games and tricks to make learning fun and rewarding for handler and dog. Start Date: TBD, Call if you are interested. When we have enough interested dogs we'll get started!
LEVEL 2 - The fun continues as you practice and polish the skills of Level 1. It’s usually distractions in the ‘real world’ that cause us the most frustration. It seems like our dogs don’t listen when something more exciting is at hand. In this class, focus and attention are improved as you and your dog learn to work together with new and increased distractions. This class is designed to continue building your relationship while you prepare for the achievement of your Canine Good Citizen award. Bring a mat, carpet square or bed to this class. Start Date: TBD, Call if you are interested. When we have enough interested dogs we'll get started!
