Puppy and Beginner
Puppy: 5 months and younger; Beginner 6 months +
Basic commands, obedience, and manners such as loose leash walking, not to jump, leave it, drop it, come, stay, sit, down, and more! Puppies under 1 year may participate in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program (additional $20). S.T.A.R. Puppy is a program for dog owners to get their puppies off on the right foot & will lead into the CGC! The AKC will award a certificate and medal for passing the test the last week of group class. Read more about S.T.A.R. Puppy here. Also available as a self paced online course, see last class description at the end.
Intermediate
Here we build up time, distractions, and distance. New higher level behaviors are also taught, such as go to/stay on your bed, heel, and finish. Two of the many goals we have are 3 minute stays with distraction, and running straight through scattered toys/treats from a 20 foot stay.
Advanced / CGC
This class is mostly preparation for the CGC test, but also continues to build on obedience and teaches new things. Dogs can be tested the last week of class if owners wish. The CGC is a title and certification for your dog, some get it as the first step in therapy work, others for fun!
Therapy / Pet Partners prep
Centering around the Pet Partners therapy dog test, this will help you prepare for other therapy dog tests as well and teach you more about working as a team in therapy environments.
Trick class
There are 3 levels of trick class, each with 20-30 different tricks, including: roll over, take a bow, weaving, jump through a hoop, say your prayers, moon walk, play dead, and many more! Puppy or Beginner level skills needed.
Outdoor class
Practice overcoming distractions, shaping, and building commands in several outdoor environments, and learn agility basics!
