THE BEGINNING - 10-16 week old puppies (we ask that puppies signing up be no more than 13 weeks of age on the first night of class, unless discussed with an instructor and pre-approved). This is our foundation class.

This class is much more than just sit & down, it  is designed to give owners a great education on appropriate management, structure, considerate socialization, stages of canine development, how to get/mark/reward behaviors you want to keep, building a trusting relationship and basic puppy behaviors (sit, down, touch, name, watch me, gather attention). Workbook and AKC S.T.A.R. puppy test included.

Puppy Privates - If group classes do not fit your schedule we do offer private puppy training in the early mornings for more one on one instruction. A great way to start a puppy off with good information, or simply fine tuning a puppy behavior that is important to your household!

ADOLESCENCE II 9-15 months - This developmental stage is often times referred to as the flaky stage, cutting the apron strings, or pushing the boundaries stage. This is a great time to really work on management, appropriate structure, appropriate and considerate socialization, and good owner patience. This class is all on leash as this stage can also be the time frame where dogs try to 'push' each other with new found confidence. You will learn how to keep your young dog successful and learn how to read what it is they are trying to tell you. This class will explore portions of; freestyle, Rally -O, agility, capturing calm, polite public manners and nice fluent basic behaviors. The more tools you have in your own personal training tool box the better for your adolescent dog!

 Freestyle For Fun!!!
This four week class will have an emphasis on 'free' in working with your dog. We will focus on freestyle 'heeling', working with your dogs attention and having fun creating freestyle moves that suite you and your dog as a team. The sport of freestyle is fairly new, Mary Ray started Heeling to Music in 1991 and Freestyle emerged in England in 1993. This is the one sport that really brings out the best in a working relationship, focus and attention... and it is great fun for you and your dog! Freestyle brings creativity to any training program... Great for Puppies and adult dogs...
