Grad School
Looking for something to do after the "basics"? This is the class for you. There is an old saying “Use it or lose it.” And that certainly applies to our dogs and their training and social skills. This class gives you an opportunity to maintain their social skills, improve their known cues and teach them new skills too. This class focuses on building and enhancing the dog/human relationship. The games we play in class help promote mutual attention and respect between the handler and their dog while improving your dog's basic obedience cues like recall, stay and attention. Your dog should know sit, down, touch (hand target), stay/wait/settle before joining this class. They don’t have to have these cues mastered but they should have a firm knowledge of them before starting class. This class is for friendly, quiet and non-aggressive dogs. Class is limited to 8 dogs. 6 week class, 50 minutes each week, $160.

Petite Pals - Puppy 3
Prerequisite: Puppy 2
This class is specifically designed for the petite pal in your life. What is a petite pal? A dog that is older than 9 months but still under 25lbs! When you have a small dog it's difficult to adequately maintain training when they are so much smaller than all the other dogs in the class. They often get lost in the shuffle or are overwhelmed by the big dogs. Yes, it's important to socialize your small dog to the big wide world but you also have to take their smaller size into special consideration. This class will allow your petite pal to continue to learn in a less fearful environment because all the dogs are small. This class will focus on small dog challenges like navigating the world full of big dogs and mastering basics like sit, down, stay, coming when called, polite leash manners and appropriate greetings.
This class is for friendly, quiet and non-aggressive dogs. Class is limited to 6 dogs. 6 week class, 50 minutes each week, $160.
