Class Type: Puppy Training
Designed for: Puppies 15 weeks to 5 months old
Start your new pet off on the right paw with puppy training classes that encourage and reinforce good behaviors. Created for puppies 15 weeks to 5 months old, our Puppy Education course is a great introduction to simple cues and basic manners, using hand signals, verbal cues and loose-leash walking to set a foundation.
Our dog trainer will work with your puppy’s natural inclination to stay near you, teaching potentially lifesaving cues like coming when called. We will also address any problem behaviors, gladly coaching pet parents through the first months of life with a puppy.
About the Class:
- An introduction to simple cues, such as “sit,” “come” and “stay”
- Learn basic manners
- Practice socialization with people and other dogs
- Work on loose-leash walking
Course length: We will meet once a week for 4 weeks
Cost: $110
Class Type: Beginner Training
Designed for: Dogs 5 months and up with no previous training
Specifically tailored to dogs five months and older with no previous training, our Beginner Education course gives your pet a solid foundation of basic behaviors. Untrained adolescent and adult dogs can become easily distracted by their environment, which is why it’s important to work on coming when called, leash-pulling, and impulse-control exercises like “stay,” “leave it” and “sit.”
Our dog trainers are patient and skilled, helping manage untrained dogs throughout the basic dog training course. You’ll see great results, and the frequent rewards you provide your dog during each stage of training will make her more attentive to you.
About the Class:
- An introduction to simple cues, such as “Free Dog” “sit,” “come” and “leave it”
- Work on problem solving
- Learn basic house manners
- Practice loose-leash walking
Course length: We will meet once a week for 6 weeks
Cost: $131
Class Type: Intermediate Training
Designed for: Dogs that already know basic cues
Wouldn’t it be nice if your trained dog could stay in place while you walked into the other room for a few minutes? Or if he wouldn’t run out the front door when visitors arrive. If your dog already knows basic cues, our Intermediate course can help him achieve the same results in situations involving more distance, duration and distractions – this intermediate dog training course also covers new behaviors such as “heel,” “wait” and “go to bed.” Our caring dog trainers will keep the work personalized and upbeat as you take each new step toward a complete training.
About the Class:
- Get a review of behaviors already learned
- Practice behaviors with added distractions
- Learn “heel,” “wait,” “go to bed” and more
