- PUPPY KINDERGARTEN - This important (and FUN) class consists of four lessons and is for puppies eight to sixteen weeks of age. This period is the most critical time in the life of your dog! If proper training and socialization occur now, you will have a happy and obedient dog in the future. During this class we will allow plenty of time for your puppy to socialize with other puppies and people. Our puppy obstacle course builds confidence and bonding. Beginning obedience work and stopping unwanted behaviors (i.e. chewing, nipping, jumping, housebreaking, barking) would also be covered.

  - BASIC OBEDIENCE - This course is a must for every dog and their owner. Dogs that are obedience trained are happier, and can become more of a part of the family since you have the proper control. This class is also good for those of you whose dog completed basic obedience before, but needs a tune-up! Class-size will be limited to allow greater personal attention for you and your dog. This 6-week course for dogs 5 months and older will include teaching your dog to pay attention to you, walk on a leash without pulling, sit, sit-stay, down, down-stay an come on command. Time will also be made for questions and specific behavior problems you may be having with your dog.  

  - ADVANCED OBEDIENCE - This course continues to build on the behaviors your started in Basic Obedience. Off-leash work is introduced as well as hand signals and various distraction situations as you and your dog work toward your Canine Good Citizenship title.      


  - BASIC AGILITY - Have fun and give your dog a constructive outlet for his energy! Building confidence is the main objective of this course, which introduces you and your dog to the standard agility obstacles and teaches you how to negotiate them in a safe and controlled manner. Basic handler skills and putting together combinations of obstacles will also be covered. Basic obedience is a prerequisite.

  - ADVANCED AGILITY - The class for agility addicts! This continuing course focuses on improving the dog/owner relationship. Emphasis will be on control, gymnastic exercises, building handler skills and running courses. Competition rules will be discussed and a fun "mock competition" held at the end of each course.
