BASIC LIFE SKILLS AND AKC STAR PUPPY CLASS

Seven Classes, $195 - Held at E Vaughn & E Hearne in Grassy Park

This is the beginning level class for dogs of all ages, as well as an AKC STAR puppy class for pups under the age of one year. The AKC STAR puppy class is the puppy version of the AKC Canine Good Citizenship class. This seven week class has a special emphasis on loose leash walking, coming when called, and other basic cues such as sit, down, and leave it. We use fun, innovative, positive reinforcement methods to teach basic behaviors. The first class is for people only so I can provide the people with pertinent information before they bring their dogs.

AKC Canine Good Citizen Class

Six Classes, $185 - Greenbelt on E Vaughn and E Hearne

The goal of the AKC Canine Good Citizen class is to take the dog’s skills to a higher level and help the person learn about responsible dog ownership. The dogs must learn good loose leash walking and advanced stays and come. They must be social with both dogs and people. There is a ten item test the dog must pass, and once the test is passed, the dog can receive the AKC Canine Good Citizen certification or title.

AKC COMMUNITY CANINE CLASS

Six Classes, $195 - Held at different locations each week

The AKC Community Canine Class is another step to acquiring advanced skills for your dog. There are ten skills that the dog must learn and we practice these skills out in the community. Each week the class goes to a different locations so the dog has the opportunity to learn how to behave in different environments with different levels of distractions. At the end of the six week class, the ten item test is given. If the dog passes the test, they earn the official AKJC Community Canine title.

Introduction to Dog Sports

This is a fun class for all dogs who have had a basic level introductory class. Each week the class is introduced to a different dog activity so people and dogs can try out the various activities available to dogs. We try our hand at: tricks, agility, scent work, games, rally, and freestyle. There is no test to pass. The only requirement is to have fun with your dog!
