NEW Small Dog Class - $150.00 6 week
The needs of small dogs are different than Big dogs. They do not mature the same or do they learn the same. Many Breeds were developed to either work or just sit on the laps of their owners. Their attention needs are the same however and those issues are addressed. The smaller breeds are not usually intimidated by the bigger dogs but some of their owners are. We address all the same issues in this class as basic but we also teach loose leash walking. The problems with walking the small dog is not that they are pulling but that they are lagging. Some owners will simply pick up their dogs rather than drag them but we want the dogs to want to keep up by making walking fun. Stay exercises are not always easy for small dogs as they seem to be busier than bigger dogs. We concentrate on Attention to help dogs stay. The recall is one exercise we especially want to reinforce.

TBA - call and let us know you have interest.
BASIC LEVEL I: $150.00 NEW FORMAT - An 6 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.
