Puppy Class (For puppies 8 weeks to 4 months)
This class is held every Wednesday for 6 weeks. $75.00
For puppies age 8 weeks to 4 months. This class coves basic socialization skills and age appropriate play with other puppies. Basic good manners and early obedience skills will also be covered, including walking on a leash and instructions to sit, down and come.

Level Once Obedience (Lean the Basics)
This class is held every Wednesday for 6 weeks. $75.00
Using positive reinforcement you will teach your dog good manners and learn how to use rewards that your dog values to gain desired behaviors. By using a marker (either a clicker or single-syllable word) your dog will quickly learn to give you good behaviors to earn a reward of praise, petting, plying with you, or food. Behaviors taught in class will be getting your dog’s attention, having your dog walk beside you on a loose lead, and the basic obedience skills of sit, down, come and stay.

This class is held every Tuesday at 7:30 P.M. for 6 weeks. $75.00
For puppies age 4 months to 6 months. This class builds on skills work on in the puppy class, but puppy class is not a prerequisite. We focus on getting them ready to move on to Basic Obedience and other training activities. There is still time spent on appropriate play time with other puppies.
