Our next session will begin on February 25, 2008

Classes run each Monday for 6 weeks and cost $80.00

Puppy Class:  6:00pm

(Puppies 6 months old and younger)

Puppies need to be guided into adulthood with training, but yet, they need to be puppies and learn how to play.  In our puppy classes, we teach the basics and emphasize socialization

Beginning:  7:00pm

(Dogs age 6 months and up)

These classes also teach the basics, but are a bit more structured.  As dogs mature, their play styles change, so our focus is more on training than on socialization.

Intermediate & Advanced:  8:00pm

Once your dog has the basics down, we work on "proofing" the behavior.  We work on getting your dog to focus on you and not be distracted by outside influences.   We'll teach a few tricks, too.

Class Structure:

1. This is a positive reinforcement class. We reward what dogs do correctly and ignore the mistakes

2. No hitting, jerking on leashes or collars, or yelling is allowed.  We encourage people not to do this at home either.

3. Never suggest a prong collar or pinch collar.  These can be misused and cause injury.

4. Participants should arrive 5 minutes prior to the start of class.

5. All family members are welcome!  Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult and stay by the adult so everyone has the best chance of learning.

6. If your dog is not feeling well, or in heat, please do not bring your dog to class.  Family members are welcome to attend though.

7. A "No Sniff Rule" is in effect upon arrival.  Puppies will be allowed time during class to play. 

8. Participants should only feed their dog half its evening meal or wait until after class to feed him/her.  This will make the treats more appealing and help prevent potty accidents.
