Dog Manners I - The focus of this course is teaching your dog to be calm and well behaved both inside and outside the home. We emphasize bonding with your dog and using positive rewards (treats, praise, petting, toys) as incentive to learn new skills. Students are also taught how to interpret their dog's body language to better understand how to approach new situations. We will cover basic dog manners and teach you and your canine buddy basic skills such as leash walking, sit, down, come, leave it, people greetings and stay. The entire family is welcome.
Pet Therapy Seminar - Bring your well trained and friendly dog to the seminar for a mini-assessment of your readiness to begin volunteering as a team. Seminar will be held Saturday, October 9th at 1:30 - 4.
Therapy 6 week Class - This class will prepare you for volunteering in a variety of pet therapy environments with your dog. This class is unique in that we are not just going to refine your dog's obedience skills, but we are also going to help you and your dog become a team and feel confident in a variety of challenging situations.
Puppy Manners I (7 weeks - 15 weeks) - Socialize your puppy and train him to have manners at home and in the community that will make you proud.

Dog Manners II - You've laid the groundwork. Now it is time to crank it up a notch. Learn new, fun ways to practice your basics and make them reliable. We will add distractions, distance and duration to "sit", "stay", "down" and "come" in fun ways that you and your dog will enjoy. Loose leash walking skills will be honed."Go To Bed" and ringing a bell to go outside will be added and just to keep things interesting, we will be adding more tricks to your repertoire! A fun class that the whole family will enjoy.
Barking and Growling Dog Class- Does your bark or growl at other dogs while out for a walk. These dogs are often called reactive. Learn what's triggering your dog's response and how to control it. Learn about leadership, getting your dog's attention with distractions and improving your basic skills such as leash walking and stay when out in public.
Secrets to Leash Walking- Learn how to keep your dog focused on you when passing distractions such as strollers, joggers, bikers, and other families walking their dog. Learn how to master the use of a hands free leash so that you can walk fast or jog to get exercise while walking your dog. Learn which equipment choices make leash walking easier.
