About Training - What Can I Expect

WHY SHOULD I TRAIN MY DOG? You will spend good quality time working with
your dog which becomes fun and educational for both of you. A well trained dog
is a true pleasure to live with.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
We offer well organized classes with individual attention to all our trainees
and their dogs. We have three levels of training.

PUPPY CLASS
( 8 Weeks - 6 Months Old Puppies )
This class educates owners about dog / dog and dog / human interaction,
dog psychology, health and grooming, being a responsible pet owner, etc.
Your puppy will build confidence through an introduction of the basic commands
and socializing with their classmates and other trainees.

BEGINNERS 1
( Prepares dogs to be reliable family members & good citizens )
They will learn the basic obedience commands, making them a
respected member of the community. You and your dog will establish
a closer bond and your dog will have the added benefit of
knowing how to please you.

BEGINNERS 2
( Is a continuation of Beginners 1 class )
Your dog will use these commands to expand his / her learning to a higher
level. After passing the test, your dog should be able to compete at fun matches
entering in the Pre-Novice class. These members participate in orientation night demonstrations, parades, and make nursing home visits.

What is expected of me and my dog?

You will need a six foot leather/nylon leash, a buckle collar for puppies, and a chain training collar for older dogs.

Proof of up-to-date vaccinations and the results of a recent stool exam are required before starting class.

For everyone's safety, your dog must be on a leash at all times, unless doing an off-leash exercise conducted by the class instructor.

Handlers need to be able to control their dogs.

Using the facility is a privilege. Cleaning supplies will be provided for you to clean up after your dog, both inside and outside the facility.
