Puppy Class
Puppy Class focuses on basic obedience training for dogs 4-12 months old. Provide your puppy with a solid foundation for success by teaching skills such as sit, down, stay, come when called, and how to politely say hello.
Basic Obedience
The Basic Obedience class is designed for dogs age 12 months and older who are just beginning to learn or need to brush up on their skills. We will work on the same skills addressed in Puppy Class, including sit, down, stay, recall and walking on a leash without pulling.

Your dog will aso learn behaviors such as heeling, pivoting in response to hand gestures, and weaving between obstacles.
Agility
Prerequisite: successful completion of a puppy or basic obedience class, or equivalent training. It is recommended but not required that dogs in Agility have completed an intermediate obedience course or equivalent training. Agility training is often thought of as jumping for dogs. While agility courses do include a number of jumps, dogs also learn to navigate obstacles such as weave poles, tunnels, dog walks, and A-frames. Agility is a wonderful way to exercise your dog physically and mentally, and to build your relationship.
Scentwork
Prerequisite: successful completion of a puppy or basic obedience class, or equivalent training. Scentwork is the art of teaching your dog to track by smell. We will help your dog learn to identify particular smells, indicate the source of the smell, and navigate search areas both indoors and outside.
IMPROV
Prerequisite: successful completion of a puppy or basic obedience class, or equivalent training. IMPROV teaches your dog to volunteer behaviors to learn new skills. You will learn to capture and shape behavior using clicker training. Skills will include learning to ring a bell on cue, how to push a toy car, and tricks such as playing a toy piano.
Trick Training
Prerequisite: successful completion of a puppy or basic obedience class, or equivalent training. Similar to IMPROV, trick training teaches fun skills with clicker training such as jumping through a hoop, standing on hind legs, and bowing.
Play Dates
Play dates offer a chance for dogs to socialize in a safe, controlled environment, with qualified individuals on hand to help encourage healthy interactions between dogs. Trainers will be on hand to offer advice and feedback. Play dates are an excellent way to socialize dogs, and may be helpful for dogs who have not had much chance to develop appropriate social skills.
