Training in a Day
Need to accelerate your learning?
Have you had a dog or puppy before? And you would like a refresher on basic training and would like to learn the most up to date teaching methods.
Here's your answer...train your dog in ONE day!! In the span
of 2 hours, you will teach your dog basic obedience
and learn how to "Think Dog". This class is not intended to replace
a typical 6-week session of classes, but will definitely help get
you off to a good start.
Clicker Training
Learn All About It
Build effective communication and a better relationship with your dog.
Learn to train without physical punishment.

The clicker training principles you will learn can be applied to
other types of training, including all types of dog sports as well
as service dog work. If you're new to clicker training, or if
you've tried the method but don't feel you understand it very
well, this workshop is for you!
Really Reliable Recall (Fido Come)
Teach your dog to want to come to you!
Does your dog have selective hearing when you call? Are you tired of chasing your dog across the park? Does your dog come when HE feels like it? Then this is the class for you! All recall work, all the time! We'll use treats and toys as well as a long line. You deserve to have a dog that comes when called! Session one is in your home or back yard, session 2 is out and about in your neighborhood; session 3 is out in the community. This session will provide you and your dog with plenty of real life training scenarios.
Wow! Were Walking
Loose lead sessions for persistent pullers! Do you feel like your arms are being stretched? Does is feel like your dog is in training for the Iditarod (sled dog race?) Does your dog lunge and pull towards other dogs? Would your dog like to run and greet everyone she sees, even if that involves dragging your through the mud? If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above then this class is just what your chiropractor ordered.
Attention Series
Literally anything you want to teach your dog starts with his attention or focus. Once your dog learns what this means, you will be able to communicate and teach him any behaviour or trick you would like.
Great emphasis is placed "attention work". Dogs learn to respond to their names, turning to look at their owners even amidst sometimes great distractions. Once you have captured a dog's attention, it is easy to have them respond to any cue/command such as come. Foundation Obedience will also be taught in conjunction with this series
