GENERAL GROUP COURSES
Puppy Preschool is a chance for you to learn what it takes to raise and care for your new puppy during the early stages of development. Your puppy will begin healthy socialization exercises to build confidence. During this 3 week course, you and your puppy will work together as we introduce your puppy to new situations and sensations. Puppy pre-school is a chance to start your puppy off on the right paw. •
For puppies age 8-16 weeks of age at the start of the course.
• See our Puppy Pre-school Program page and separate registration form.
You will learn how to effectively communicate with your dog to establish the beginning obedience commands. Your dog will learn proper heeling on a loose leash with an auto-sit, and the basics; sit, down, stay, and come while incorporating helpful training tips.
In this class we will continue to fine tune and build upon the commands learned in Basic Obedience I. We will add in distractions, hand-signals, and more expectations for our dogs. We will introduce the Place command and begin adding distance into our exercises for further challenge.
OPEN GROUP is for our previous clients who are looking for a place to continue practicing obedience commands and good manners they have learned with their dogs. This is not a structured 6 week course, and understanding of the basic commands is something you and your dog should already know. This class is open every Saturday on a first come first served basis. In this class the trainer will run you and your dog through different exercises/drills working on both obedience and good manners. Your dog will work around other dogs and new distractions. Some days might include outside work, weather permitting. •
Prerequisite:
Basic Obedience I, Good Manners or previous Stay & Train clients. • Session size is limited and reservations ARE REQUIRED
In this course you will continue to work on the basic obedience commands adding in distance with ’dropped-leash’, longer stays, and advanced commands such as Square-Off 90, Finish, Stand, Drop on Recall, and Place. This course will strengthen the level of respect and increase the level of communication, preparing your dog for off-leash control.
The goal of this course is to teach you and your dog some basic communication to allow your dog to walk with you on a loose leash and demonstrate good manners around strangers and new situations. In this class we will work on the 10 required testing scenarios of the Canine Good Citizen Certification from the AKC. At the end of this course you and your dog will participate in this test to receive the CGC certification. •
For all dogs
age 18 weeks and up.
