AGILITY
Agility training consists of leading your dog through an obstacle course: leaping over jumps and tires, weaving through poles, burrowing through a tunnel, plus walking ‘a plank’ and a teeter…the obstacles are great fun, but the best part is the strong bond built while you and your dog work together as a team. Team training such as this builds a tremendous amount of confidence, helps release extra energy, plus provides mental and physical stimulation. It will be so enjoyable that you and your dog won’t even realize you are learning! Open to dogs 6 months old and older.

OBEDIENCE
Education is the key to successful dog training, and the Basic Obedience and Beyond Class is fun and educational for both the dog and owner. Your dog will learn the basics: sit, stay, down, come, walking on a loose leash, etc. Plus you will learn how to shape desirable behaviors while eliminating unwanted ones, by using humane and effective positive reinforcement techniques. Beyond this, you and your dog will learn to understand each other, and work together to build a happy, long-lasting relationship, with you as the natural leader. You can teach an old dog new tricks, and this class is open to all dogs 6 months and older.
