    Private One on One Lessons in your home: from 8 weeks of age on up
  • Looking for a Professional Personal Trainer? Convenient, customized, one hour a
    week sessions in your home (20 miles roundtrip free. $.50 a mi. after that).
  • I'll teach you to train your dog. I do not board dogs to train myself.
  • Totally focused on you and your dog rather than on a whole class.
  • Flexible times - weekdays and some evening sessions available.   
  • Great addition if your schedule is hectic or you just need a little private
    coaching in specific areas.
  • The place to train is in your home as that is where the problems start.
  • Wonderful "jump start" before your pup is old enough for a group.

    B1: Behavior/manners classes for pups 12 weeks of age through
         friendly adult.
  • This class has one lecture/learning night without the dogs and five classes with
    the dogs. You'll learn how to get what you want.
  • Did you know that a 7 week old puppy has the brain waves of an adult? He also
    has a shorter attention span! The best time to start teaching a puppy what is
    and isn't allowed, is as soon as you get him.
  • B1 is a "YES!" class. Owners will learn to understand and mark the behaviors
    they want repeated. They also learn why their actions cause reactions in their
    dogs and how to change their own behavior to get what they want from their
    companions.

    B1 Class helps you:
  • teach your dog sit, down, stay, come, leash walking
  • solve problems with anything from housebreaking, jumping on your guests,
    counter surfing, door-dashing etc.
  • get your dog the right kind of human and canine socialization; not just an
    unmoderated dog park.

     B2:  Intermediate behavior/obedience class.
  • Learning to use what you have
  • The start of heeling and furthering his problem solving skills.
  • gives you more control with distance,time, distraction proofing and starting
    some off leash work.
  • Thinking about a Canine Good Citizen test, or Therapy
    work? This class will give you the control you need to pass it.
  • Dogs do come to this first class. Pre-requisite is graduation
              from our B1 class.

Circus Dog Trick-Training Class
  • Our "tricks" class is a fun change of pace for dogs and their owners
    and a great class to go to if you plan to do any school or therapy
    visits with your dog.
  • Handlers 10 years of age and over are welcome. Learn to make
    your dog laugh!
  • Six one-hour sessions. Indoors - winter class. Dogs do come to the
    first class.   
  • Pre-requisite is knowing "sit" and "down".

Canine Good Citizen Class
  • This seven week class teaches the requirements of the AKC Canine Good Citizen
    Test
  • The CGC award was designed by the AKC as a certification course to reward
    responsible owners who have trained their dogs to have good manners both at
    home and in the community

  • Pre-requisite is at least six months of age by start date
