Where Learning is Fun!
Beginner Obedience (Good Manners Class)
Everyone needs to be polite and have good manners! This class is
designed for the beginner puppy, or the recently adopted adolescent, and
even the older dog who may need a "refresher" course. Because the class sizes
are small, individual attention is given and the curriculum is modified to
accommodate each student's needs. Before class, playtime is encouraged
depending on the dog's/puppy's age, size, play style, etc.
(Socialization is important even when you're older!)
We will focus on how dogs learn and how we can effectively
communicate with them. You will learn about dog's body language
and calming signals. You'll learn how to teach your dog sit, down,
stay, wait, walk with a loose leash, leave it, attention, heel position.
Because we'll be using a clicker to mark and reward, your
dog will be set up for a lifetime of eager learning!

Canine Good Citizen® and Tricks Class (will continue in
the fall)
Even if you're not interested in earning a CGC title for your dog, take this class if you want to
improve on obedience skills! The CGC employs practical exercise that you can use every day.
Any purebred or mixed breed dog can earn a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title. The CGC title
is given out by the American Kennel Club. The test is based on 10 basic good manners skills;
accepting a friendly stranger, supervised separation, sitting politely for petting, accepting
grooming, coming when called, sit, down and stay, reaction to another dog and distractions.
Canine Good Citizen® is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good
manners at home and in the community.
We will practice the 10 skills needed to pass the CGC test. Even if you don't want to be tested,
the stuff we do in this class will produce a dog that is safe and happy to be in public.
