Behavior consultations are for dogs with aggression issues. They are 2 hours & the cost is $85.
Level I classes (Puppy & Practical) will meet for 7 weeks, having the first class with no dogs, then 6 weeks with dogs. This is so I can go over a few things with owners. Cost is $105
The 6 week group classes, meeting one hour a each week, are $100 regardless of curriculum.
The 4 week Puppy Imprinting class is $80.
Classes offered:
Puppy Imprinting: This is a 4 week class for puppies between 8 and 14 weeks old. Here we show them that desired behaviors will get them a reward; sit means sit, recall, no jumping on folk, potty training, crate training, mouthing & introductions to different people, places & sounds. 4 weeks
Puppy
I: For puppies from 8 weeks to approximately
4 months. In this class we work on foundation exercises; sit, down, stay, coming when called, walking on leash, leave it & drop it. We concentrate
on nuisance behaviors like jumping up, mouthing, house training & chewing as well. Also, a very important part of this class is socialization with people & other puppies & getting them used to a wide variety of new things in
their environment. 7 weeks
Puppy
II: For puppies over 4 months, continues to work on foundation skills while
upping distractions, duration and distance. Place, heel & standing stay are
also introduced. 6 weeks
Practical Obedience I: For dogs from 6 months & older who have never taken a class before & need to start with the basics:
sit, down, stay, wait, coming when called, controlled loose leash walking & more as well as, any nuisance behaviors such as barking, jumping & destruction.
I also talk about how dogs learn, how to listen to what your dog is telling you
& the importance of interactive toys. 7 weeks
Practical Obedience II: For dogs 8 months & older who have
completed a level one class (either with me or elsewhere) In this class we
begin upping the distractions, distance & duration for sit stay and down stay and
recalls. We will also learn formal heel, and other impulse control exercises
such as “distance drop” and “sudden stops.” Dogs will learn to focus and control
impulses through a gauntlet of distractions. 6 weeks
Proofing: For dogs 10 months & older who have completed both level I & II (check with me if you've taken classes elsewhere) This is a fun & challenging class where we take what was learned in levels I & II & make sure those commands are solid. We add obstacles from agility, directional hand signals & some Rally O exercises as well as walking leave it, out of sight stays & move to off leash heeling. You may need to meet with me before enrolling. 6 weeks
Canine Good Citizen: For dogs 6 months & older; all 10 items from the CGC test are covered & testing will be held at the last class. 6 weeks
Thinking Dogs: For dogs 6 months & over who have completed at least a level I class. These
classes are hodgepodge of nose work, tricks, CGC prep exercises, obstacles,
rally O, treibball & dog games. Great for dogs who need be challenged or for keeping busy through extreme weather; too hot to go for a hike? Think! 6 ft of snow in your yard? Think!
There are 3 Thinking Dog classes to keep you & your dog busy, they do not need to be taken in succession. Ask me about it! 6 weeks
**All classes are "field trip" classes - being held at different locations both indoor & outdoor (weather permitting) to help your dogs generalize commands & practice in real world situations. Locations will me made clear at each class to avoid confusion. **
* You must bring current vaccinations & a contact list (so I can get in touch with you if I need to) to the first class.*
