Specialty Classes

Nose work for Fun

This introductory class is for you to have fun with your dog as well as build their confidence. It will help improve your communications skills with your dog, as well as build your dog’s problem-solving skills all through activities designed to stimulate your dog’s drive to “hunt” and “search” an instinct in all dogs. Dogs learn to search in a variety of different obstacles, both high and low, around barriers, inside and outside of boxes, around chairs, tables, all for the fun of looking for the treats.

Recall – Come When Called! (Max 4 Dogs)

Do you want your dog to come to you when you need them to?  This small group class will give you tools and practice to bring value to your recall with your dog.  This class is only 4 weeks, meeting once per week for 30 minute sessions.

What you will learn

LEVEL 1 & PUPPIES ONLY: FOUNDATIONS

Level 1 learn foundation skills: attention, name response, sit, down, loose leash walking, wait and self control, drop, leave-it, targeting, handling and many other new skills. In every level we always bring fun and new challenges to all classes! 

In our weekly puppy only classes (under 20 weeks/5 months) we begin puppy essential skills for puppies and Mom’s and Dad’s where we go over house training, crate training, puppy schedules, puppy behaviors and how to manage and train, how to socialize to people, objects, sights and sounds, handling, and other puppies. 

 LEVEL 2: INTERMEDIATE MANNERS 

Level 2 builds upon foundation behaviors along with recall, place command, advancing loose leash walking, leave it, recalls, good greetings with people and people with dogs on leash, self control, stay, and other behaviors, under beginning duration, distances, and distractions. We will also bring novel learning experiences to you in classes! 

 LEVEL 3: ADVANCED MANNERS

Level 3 advances all of these practiced skills using higher distractions, durations, and distances for the behaviors we have solidly built upon with you to practice inside and outside in a group setting. Have fun and challenge yourself using all the work you and your dog have achieved with us! Take the Canine Good Citizen if your pup qualifies for the evaluation.
