Training Opportunities

We are in the process of expanding the training opportunities available to the public.  The following list includes both currently available options and those expected to be available in the near future.  For detail on specific classes, see our Descriptions page.

For more info on specific classes, see Class Descriptions page.
For information on costs of classes & events, see Payments page.

Group Class Settings

These sessions are offered in a class setting, limited to not more than 6 dogs.  By limiting the number of dogs per class, we are able to provide more individualized instruction.  Class sessions normally run 5-6 weeks.  Introductory classes also include a 7th session -- an Introduction to Training Seminar -- which is taken before beginning the regular class sessions.

  • Beginners Class (Basic Training Principles/Methodology)
  • Puppy Classes
  • Canine Manners Class
  • Kids Klub (restricted to children and youth -- and their parents)
  • Special Interest/Focus Training (Individual class periods deal with specific tasks, such as Heel, Come, Stay, etc., determined by the specific needs of the class members.)
  • Rally-Obedience (several levels)
  • IMPROV
  • Agility (several levels)
  • K-9 Sampler -- A fun introduction to the various kinds of dog competition, including Obedience, Conformation (Breed Show), Rally-O, Agility, Flyball, Freestyle ("Dancing With Dogs"), etc.  Goals are to help people understand what they are watching during competition, AND to help decide whether a specific type of competition might be something for their dog.
  • Tricks Class
  • Tracking Class
  • Loose Leash Walking
  • Conformation Competition 101
  • Obedience Competition (several levels)
  • Canine Good Citizen Preparation
  • Therapy Dog Preparation

Individualized Instruction

Some training sessions are best provided in a one-on-one setting, based on the specific needs of the dog and the handler.  These opportunities are custom-designed, and held either at the training facility or at the handler's home.  Instruction usually involves a minimum of 3 sessions.

  • Private Training in Principles and Methodology
  • Remedial Training or Consultation to address issues specific to the dog
