Group Puppy Class
Puppy training is one of the most important investments you can make for you and your pet’s future. A five week puppy course meets once a week for five consecutive weeks. Each class is approximately one hour long and is recommended for puppies under five-months-old. The group puppy course will focus on common puppy issues such as leash pulling, nipping, chewing, jumping, house breaking and more. Puppies will also learn confidence building and socialization. Please note that puppy training can also be taught as private sessions. Puppies must have two sets of shots to participate in group puppy class.
Basic Obedience
Basic Obedience is the foundation to a successful relationship between you and your dog. This is an eight week course that takes place once a week, for eight consecutive weeks. Each class is approximately one hour long. In a basic obedience class your dog will learn the five obedience commands while on a leash: heel, sit, stay, down and come. They will also have an opportunity to socialize and burn off extra energy with other dogs in the class.
Advanced Obedience
Take your training to the next level! In this class owners will refine the five obedience commands by transitioning to a 50-foot long line. Dogs will also practice the commands with distractions incorporated into the training and commands will be asked with greater distance between owner and dog. Advanced obedience is a six week course that takes place once a week, for six consecutive weeks. Each class is approximately one hour long. It is recommended that dogs complete the basic obedience course before enrolling in the advanced obedience course.
Agility Training
Can your dog leap, jump and run like an Olympic Star? Unleash the athlete in your pet. Agility training is a great structured way for your dog to be stimulated, build confidence, release energy and have fun! Dogs will learn how to jump hurdles, run through tunnels, weave through polls, amongst other awesome activities. This is a seven week course that meets once a week for seven consecutive weeks. Each class is approximately one hour long. By the end of the course dogs will be able to complete runs through an entire obstacle course! It is recommended that dogs have completed basic obedience or can successfully perform basic obedience commands. |
Group training is a great way to teach dogs and owners in a safe, structured environment. Children under 8 years old are not permitted in class for the safety of all participants and animals. Dogs with aggression are advised to enroll in private training before a group class environment. Class space is limited. We approximate only 10 dogs will be enrolled in each course.
