Obedience Options:

   

"FUN"-da-MENTALs Group Class:  Canines 3 months and older (with appropriate vaccinations) are invited to participate in group class to begin learning the ABC's of behavior training and Socialization with a strong emphasis on impulse control.  The course introduces choice-based learning, and focuses on building a relationship with your dog so they will work for you.  This method will teach you how to selectively reward for behaviors you like, how to interrupt and replace behavior you do not like, and how to test value and grow foundation behaviors into dependable ones for life.  Essentially, this class teaches the "language" between you and your dog that will allow communication to take place for everything you would like to teach them.  It is also a great foundation for future performance dogs wanting to participate in Agility, Dock Diving, Obedience, Rally, and other canine performance sports! We will review many nuisance behaviors such as mouthing / biting / lunging / vocalization, etc. and teach you how to handle each of these situations.  Canines must be dog & people friendly and be controlled physically by their handler.  This is a big confidence-builder for young pups and shy dogs, alike.  Tuition for this 4-week class is $165.
