This class is conducted using positive reinforcement training techniques. The cost is $60 for the five week course.  We ask for a $25 deposit with the remainder payable upon at the first class.

 

As a reminder, classes will be conducted outside so please dress accordingly.


Basic Obedience:   All the basics for dogs of any age!

Whether your dog is 3 months or 16 years, this 6 week class is for you! The focus is on teaching YOU to teach your dog, using positive reinforcement training methods. This class will cover an introduction to positive reinforcement clicker training; foundation obedience skills; and discussions on Canine Learning Theory.  At the end of this class, you can expect your dog to: give you his attention on command sit; stay; down, settle, leave-it; come to you on command; loose leash walk; and be on his/her way to much more.

The training class itself will be 5 weeks long.  The first night is dog-free (people only), and we will review the basics of clicker training and supply you with a list of supplies you will need. Supplies will be available at Lucky Puppy for your convenience.
 

Each class is semi-private and will be conducted with no more than 4 dogs. Therefore, there will be a lot of one-on-one time. The cost of this 5 week training class is $125. We do ask for a $25 deposit to hold your position in the class, with the remaining amount to be paid throughout the sessions. Private sessions available for $175.


Leadership:  Is your dog not listening to you when you know he understands?

Does he bark at you until you respond to his demands?  Does he take things off the counter when you're not looking (or even when you are)?  Does he jump on you when you have food in your hands?  Does he pull you everywhere when walking? Does he crash through the door (and you) when he gets to go bye-bye? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," this class is for you!

Dogs are animals and there must be a leader in their pack. If there is no leader, they will assume the position, which can create an amazing amount of stress and unbalance for your dog - not to mention a very unhappy home for you.  We will show you how to establish rules; enforce them in a balanced way; and maintain social order in your home.  Once your dog respects you as his leader, he can relax and enjoy life knowing you will take care of everything for him. 

This 90 minute class is for you only - not your dog.  (Yes, we are the problem!)  Cost for the session is $50.
