Picture Perfect Level 1 - Mini Class
|
This is a mini class - only three weeks long. If you have ever been frustrated by your dog's behavior when you are trying to take their picture this class is for you! All dogs will learn a rock solid sit and how to look where you want. Novice dogs will learn a side sit and Advanced dogs will learn a distraction proof stay. And if your dog is afraid of the camera we will cover that too! This class is geared for you to support your dog while someone else takes their picture. If you are wanting to learn tips for taking your own photos you will want to continue on to Picture Perfect Level 2. The last week of the class is a field trip to a park for a special class photo shoot and you will come away with a professional picture of your dog. Additional poses may be purchased separately. Training AND a professional picture all for $125. Class is limited to 6 dogs. Dogs must be friendly, non-aggressive and quiet to participate.

Happy Holidays - Mini Class
This is a mini class - only two weeks long. The sole focus of this class is giving your dogs the skills they need to be successful during the holidays. Your dog will learn zen door (no bolting out the front door), how to wait patiently on a blanket, impulse control so they don't beg or steal food, and how to greet appropriately (no jumping on visitors). If your dog is a little rusty in any area this is the time to dust off the cobwebs and get them ready for the holiday season. Class is 50 minutes for three weeks for friendly, non aggressive dogs $60.
Stay on Track
So often I have students who do one or two classes with me (or someone else) and think “Well, that’s done. I trained my dog.” Only to find out that when they stop making time to train their dog some undesirable behaviors can show up. They think they will practice at home and without the accountability of coming to a class their training time dwindles and soon they realize they haven’t practiced anything with their dog for a few weeks or months. Once they return (if they return) to training they find they have to dust off some cobwebs and catch up. If they don’t return they say things like, “training didn’t work for my dog”. Make sure you and your dog don’t fall into this trap! Utilize my Stay On Track classes to prevent this from happening to you and your dog.
Stay On Track classes are monthly classes designed to keep your skills fresh with your dog. They are open to students who have completed at least three semesters of classes.
We will play games, learn some tricks, go on field trips. You never know what to expect each month which will make it fun for both you AND your dog.
When you join the Stay On Track class you are committing to attending once a month for three months. $80/3 months

Social Hour
"Can the dogs play?" Social play skills can easily fall by the wayside if your dog doesn't get the opportunity to appropriately play with others. My monthly social hour is open to current and past students of mine provided you have been in a class in the last six months. If you haven't been in a class in the past six months you need trainer approval to join the social hour. I will be here monitoring the play and guiding the dogs as needed. Play will be interrupted for cool down periods but it's not an active training class.
This is a drop in class and you can pay as you go $15 per dog. I do, however, ask that you RSVP.
