CLASS OFFERINGS:

Hold Your Horses – a class in which dogs learn to control their own impulses, such as jumping up, dashing out doors, pulling on leash, grabbing a dropped item.

The Awesome Dog – an all around basic pet obedience class where dogs and pups learn cues such as sit, down, stand, stay, leash walking, and go to mat.

Tricks For Treats – a class for fun and mental enrichment where dogs learn tricks such as bow, roll over, crawl, and more. You can also earn a trick title with your dog!

Agility Light – an easy-going, but fun agility class for pet dogs and their owners to laugh and enjoy each other’s company while learning some traditional and not-so-traditional agility obstacles.

Games Dogs Play – in this class, you’ll laugh with your dog as you learn ways to employ his/her natural instincts through game playing. We use their noses, ball playing abilities, tugging, obedience behaviors, and more. Games can change a bored or destructive dog’s life and help owners better understand their canine family members.

S.T.A.R. Puppy – The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is a certification given to a puppy after completing this class. Puppies from 4 months to 1 year old are eligible for this pre-CGC certification. Sit, down, come, stay, are taught as well as handling, removing items from puppy, and other behaviors. (S.T.A.R.- Socialization, Training, Activity, Responsibility)

Canine Good Citizen – Would you like to earn a certification with your dog proving he/she is a good citizen? This class will help you prepare to take the test, which will be administered at the last class.
