Class Descriptions:

Puppy Pre-School (12weeks - 6months)
  This class teaches puppy owners how to effectively prevent and solve behavior problems.  Trainers
assist students in a limited class environment with the basic tools to start puppy off on the right paw!!
Exercises taught in class will include: sit, down, come when called, leash manners, self control and
discussion on any topics owners need help with.

Crazy 2 Calm (6months - adult)
  This class is designed for puppy pre-school graduates and/or dogs that have never been to a group
class and need help settling down!  This unique class will teach owners how to train their dog to have
focus and self control.  
Exercises taught in class will include: attention building, stay, leave it, out wait at doors, jumping up,
leash manners, come when called, and discussion on behavior problems such as barking,
biting/mouthing, and not listening.
Crazy 2 Calm Level II
  
This class is for C2C graduates to continue refining the lessons learned in the first level class.  
Additional exercises will be added depending on the dogs enrolled in class.

Workshops
  
Training workshops are an excellent chance to work on specific behavioral problems. These on hour
hands-on sessions are designed to complement our group classes, but are also a great alternative for
owners who are unable to commit to a session of classes. Topics change monthly but generally offered
are leash walking, shy dog, potty & crate training, or jumping up. Pre-registration is required.

Re-Socialization (Growl) Class
    What is re-socialization?  This class is for dogs who don't like other dogs and/or people around
them.  These dogs may be reactive (a.k.a barking, growling, lunging) or more commonly said to be
"aggressive" or "dominant".  Owners will learn how to understand what triggers their dog's behavior and
how to manage them with confidence.  All dogs must have instructor permission prior to enrolling in
class.  This is a very specialized class and is offered on a limited basis.

Agility for Fun & Fitness
 
 This class is designed with fun in mind!! Already been through an obedience class and looking for
something different to do, try agility. This class helps build a strong relationship between owner and
dog and will help build confidence in timid dogs.  In this class your dog will be introduced to a variety
of agility equipment such as; jumps, tire jump, A-frame, see-saw, tunnel, dog walk and pause table.

Beginner Rally Obedience
  What is Rally?
Rally is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been
designed by the judge. The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their
own pace through a course of designated stations (10 - 20, depending on the level).
Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed.
Scoring is not as rigorous as traditional obedience. Dogs should have been through at least a beginners
obedience class and know sit, down, stay and have nice leash manners.

Private Training
  
Private lessons can be held at our facility or in the comfort of your own home.  This type of training
is recommended for dogs that are having more complex behavior problems (i.e. separation anxiety or
aggression issues) or for owners who would like one-on-one training for accelerated results.
