Walk in the Park Program
Walking with your dog shouldn't be a struggle! It should be a joy. Then why is it so hard? Because we have different ideas of what a “good walk” is with your dog. My Walk in the Park Program is a series of classes that will show you how to walk your dog and then continue to practice on a weekly basis. They are taught at parks and public spaces in and around Arvada, Wheat Ridge, and Westminster.

In this class we will cover the proper equipment for walking, polite car manners when arriving at the location, and all aspects of polite leash walking which includes walking politely, walking past dogs and wildlife, polite greetings with dogs and people, and waiting patiently when you are stopped or talking with someone. 5 week class, 50 minutes each week, $175

Rally for Fun Level 1 - Intro
Rally obedience continues to grow in popularity because of its upbeat style of working and interacting with the dog. Rally focuses on the relationship the handler has with the dog and the teamwork that is displayed as they make their way through a course of designated stations with the dog in heel position. The course consists of 10 to 20 signs that instructs the team what to do. This class is NOT for serious competitors but rather for guardians who are looking for a new challenge, a new way to work with their dog and enhance their relationship.
