BEGINNING WITH BASICS
$125 - 7 week session
For dogs of all ages! We welcome dogs of all sizes and with a variety of backgrounds (e.g., purebreds, mixed breeds, and rescue dogs) to come and work together. These mixed classes enable a variety of personalities to gain appropriate canine social skills from one another while working on manners, obedience and life skills.
THE NEXT STEP
$125 - 7 week session
The Next Step is for dogs who have taken Beginning with Basics (or similar, with permission of instructor) and are ready to add difficulty to basic behaviours as well as learn more advanced obedience skills. Although this is a group class, every attempt is made to tailor the content and coaching to the level of experience of you and your dog.
BRANCHING OUT
$125 - 7 week session
Branching Out will show you how to take the skills from previous classes and apply them to everyday life. It will also introduce you to new training paths such as Clicker Training, Agility, Musical Freestyle, and Trick Dog Training. You will also learn more techniques to teach your dog impulse control and body awareness to apply in everyday life or on any branch of the path you pursue.
WALKIN' & RECALL
$125 - 7 week session
Welcome to the real world! One of our most popular classes, Walkin' & Recall takes you out on the town to work on leash walking and recall skills as well as the skills learned in previous classes. Students love the variety of locations and the opportunity to train through real-life situations.
