BASIC LEVEL I: $175.00 An 8 week course for owners and their dogs.
The dogs learn to walk without pulling, heeling, sit, down and stand stays, and to come when called. We achieve these goals patiently using treats and gentle methods, later we add hand signals. The exercises are done with the dogs and owners working as a team. Each week we review the previous weeks lessons and the dogs that are consistent go on to a more difficult step in the exercise. Most of all we want our students and their owners to have fun. We want your dogs to jump out of the car when they come to the kennel enthusiastically knowing we will all have a good time.
