This is a great WINTER class while the snow flies outside to explore what sport you two would like to pursue in the future!!

Sports will be introduced using a balance of motivational play, confidence building exercises, and impulse control games to create a a great relationship between you and your pooch. Class work will cover: introduction to clicker/marker training, how to reward your dog, the proper way to tug, using play to build enthusiasm for training, building a recall and retrieve through games, and finally teaching impulse control (like “stay”, “go to your crate” and “leave it”) in a fun and positive way.

In addition, the dogs will be introduced to contact equipment, along with tunnels, jumps, chutes, and a flyball box. Your pooch needs to have at least one obedience class under it's belt:)

NEXT SESSION: Saturday, January 7, 2012 @ 11:30 a.m. Class fee: $115 for six weeks, one hour per week. Enroll today, this gets the process started.
