Obedience 2.0: Saturdays at 9:30am starting May 20th. Obedience 2.0 takes you and your dog on the road to fine tune and enhance obedience skills learned in Basic Obedience. One of the main goals of this class is to “Distraction Proof” what your dog already knows, in addition to adding some new commands such as an in-motion sit, off-leash heeling, and more challenging recalls. Our first class will be held at Barley’s and we will determine locations for the remaining classes then. Basic Obedience is a strongly suggested prerequisite to Advanced Obedience. Class is $125 for 5 weeks.
Puppy 2nd Grade: Saturdays at 11am starting May 20th. For dogs 6 – 12 months old. Calling all puppies and adolescents! Come join us in Puppy 2nd grade, where we begin the foundation for all things obedience. Puppies will learn basic on-leash obedience in an interactive manner while in the company of other puppies. Class is $125 for 5 weeks. All pups must have current vaccinations including rabies.
Reactive Dog Workshop: Saturday, May 6th at 11:00am. Does your dog bark at other dogs or people when they’re on leash? Are they just so excited to see other dogs or people they won’t listen to you or stay with you? This workshop is all about learning how to handle your dog when they are lunging and barking at other dogs instead of walking with you. $25 per dog. (As long as the weather is good, we will be meeting at the field before Tanner Park, not Barley’s. An email confirmation will be sent the day before for location.)
