Toys & Tricks (All Ages - Basic Obedience or Puppy Preschool Recommended)

This is a fun class for owners wanting to bond with their dogs in a fun environment. This is a great class for dogs that are under-socialized and for puppies still in the socialization stage. In this class we introduce dogs to new objects, obstacles, and games. In this class we also teach a variety of fun tricks such as: Shake, Take a Bow, High Five, Crawl, etc. The sky is the limit in this class, and each class is modified to suit the students needs/wants.

Travel Manners (Puppy Preschool or Basic Obedience Recommended)

This is an advanced class which travels from location to location to help dogs generalize the obedience commands taught in previous courses: Sit, Down, Stay, Come as well as working individually with owners on problems they may have when taking their dogs into the public.
