So let's get started on making you more important than the cat next door, or the squirrel running across the road.
Teaching your dog the two most important skills they should have has never been more fun!
Tricks and Clicks
Tricks are a great way to bond with your dog, help him integrate into your family, and keep him mentally and physically challenged.
Everyone loves to see a dog showing off his new tricks!
Learn a wide variety of tricks - bow, weave, play dead, etc.
Start-Line Stays and
Mat / Door Work
Whether you are training for an agility or obedience competition or for just basic manners - your dog must learn how to stay, wait and act politely at the door.
This class will focus on stays - building duration, distance and distraction. We will use positive reinforcement training techniques and build criteria in small increments to guarantee success.
