Puppy Class:
This class is for puppies from 8 weeks to 4 months of age. Pups will learn to pay
attention, walk on a leash, wait at doors, not jump on people, settle down when
over excited, and socialize with other puppies. This class is based on positive
reinforcement training (“Clicker Training”).
Basic Obedience:
This class is for dogs from 5 months of age or older. Your dog will learn “sit”,
“down”, “come”, “stay”, “heel”, “leave-it”, no jumping, wait at doors, and practice
eye contact/ focus training. This class uses positive reinforcement training (“Clicker
Training”). C.G.C. test will be offered during the last week of class.
Therapy Dog Training:
The therapy dog class prepares dogs to visit nursing homes as well as take their
Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Therapy Dog International (TDI) tests. Classes
are semi-seasonal, TDI test will be offered at the end. You do not need to take the
class to take the test; test registration is separate from class registration.
Rally/ Practice Time
Rally: You and your dog will learn off-leash healing and off-leash recall while navigating a maze of command signs. Rally is a drop-in advanced obedience class and
runs all year long on Thursdays, 6:30-7:30 pm.
Practice Time: (Same time as Rally), feel free to stop by with your dog for a chance
to work on socializing, obedience, or anything else you might need to practice.
Conformation:
This group-based instruction class prepares you and your dog for the conformation
ring. It will help teach your dog to stack and to hold still while being examined, as
well as proper gating. Classes are drop-in and run year-round, Thursdays 7:308:30 pm.
25 Pounds and under Obedience Class:
This class is designed for small dogs. Basic obedience such as sit, heeling, wait,
focus training, down, and stay will be covered. For small dogs, we use positive
reinforcement training along with a touch stick to make learning easier. Classes are
seasonal.
Flyball:
Flyball is a high-speed racing game between two teams of four dogs and handlers.
Each dog is released on a line and runs 50 feet over four jumps to a box to retrieve
a ball. The dog then runs back and returns to the handler. Advanced and intermediate drop-in classes run year round, beginner classes are seasonal.
Tracking Dog Training:
This class prepares the handler and dog to follow a human’s trail and recover any
dropped items along the way. Training in this class is largely individual. The class
accepts four dogs maximum in two different groups on different days. Brachycephalic breeds do not do very well in this discipline (dogs with squished noses like
Boxers or Boston Terriers). Classes are seasonal. ($5 discount for reoccurring
clients) Times and dates will be adjusted for reasonable weather.
Skijouring/ Sled Dog Training:
This class will help get your dog ready to pull a sled, skis, scooter, rollerblades,
or a training cart. Dogs will learn basic sled dog commands, including “Hup
hup”, “Whoa”, “Gee”, “Haw”, “On by”, and “Line out”. Humans will learn all about
equipment, local racing and skijouring clubs, and how to properly use commands.
Private training using a veteran sled dog is available. Call for more information

Discover
Many dogs behave well at home, but not when they’re out in public.
Obedience classes are an excellent way to train your dog to work through distractions. Dogs should be trained daily to achieve proper results. We prefer to use
no-slip collars for training. You will receive confirmation after closing of registration.
