What to expect...
Welcome back! We’ve added many new exciting courses for you and your pup; some more difficult than others. Are you up for the challenge? Here’s a bit more info!
Family Manners | 5 Spots | 5 Week Duration
A great class for any skill level, we go over the very basics of dog training and work towards having a dog that responds to cues promptly and with enthusiasm! Master this class and your pup will be on course to be the best behaved in the neighborhood.
Novice Trick Dog | 4 Spots | 5 Week Duration
The Novice Trick Dog class is a course open to all dogs who have graduated Family Manners and is a fun class geared towards helping your dog achieve their AKC Novice Trick Dog title. It is the starting level of all the Trick Dog courses, and covers AKC approved novice level tricks such as balance beam, sitting in a box, shake, high five, find it, hand targeting, hand signals, push ups, crawl, jump, paws up, kiss, and get on. It is a 5 week course with 4 weeks being prep and practice, and the final week being the test which is administered by one of our AKC approved CGC evaluators. Take this class for the title or just to have some fun with your pup!
Life Skills | 4 Spots | 5 Week Duration
This course is a step up from your average training course. We start to hone skills such as loose leash walking, proper greetings (for dogs and people), and focus on how to instill impulse control in even the most energetic of dogs. Your vision of walking your dog down a busy main street or sitting at an outdoor cafe can become reality!
Life Skills II | 4 Spots | 5 Week Duration
The Life Skills II course is open to all pups who have completed the Life Skills I and concentrates on more advanced behaviors for those that want to go above and beyond in their dog training. Skills covered include drop recall, extended stays with distractions, passing other dogs on leash, go visit, and advanced leave it. A great segway class between Life Skills I and CGC, this course will help to refine and perfect your dog’s basic skills and introduce some brand new ones to their repertoire. Are you up to the challenge?
Puppy K | 4 Spots | 4 Week Duration
The Puppy K Program is essential for all owners with puppies. We focus on developing skills which will aid your puppy in becoming a well-mannered adult. Socialization with people, housetraining, crate training, nipping, potty training, and handling are just a few of the topics covered in this incredible class. We also offer plenty of supervised playtime for the puppies as this helps them develop proper socialization with other dogs. Your puppy will get a head start in name recognition, coming when called, sits and downs, and loose leash walking. The first few months of a dog's life are critical in how they will develop later on in life. With our Puppy K class, your dog will be on the right track to avoid behavioral issues such as fear, aggression, and anxiety. From new owner to pro, this class is for you!

It is important to us that you enjoy training your dog as much as your dog enjoys learning new behaviors…. or unlearning the bad behaviors!
Canine Good Citizen Course | 4 spots | 6 Week Duration
The Canine Good Citizen course is open to all dogs who have completed both Family Manners and Life Skills classes. It is our most advanced class that is designed to help your dog pass their CGC exam, which is administered during the final class session by one of our AKC approved CGC evaluators. Skills covered will include the 10 CGC test items: Accepting a friendly stranger, sitting politely for petting, appearance and grooming, walking on a loose leash, walking through a crowd, sit and down on cue with a stay, coming when called, reaction to other dogs, reaction to distractions, and supervised separation. When your dog passes this course, they will receive their official CGC title and certificate (as well as all of the bragging rights!)
