Puppy (13 weeks - 12 months old)

This class helps you prepare your pup for life in a human world. The two of you will learn how to use positive training methods to teach basic commands such as sit, down, stay as well learning to come when called and the beginnings of leash walking. Puppy raising questions about housebreaking, jumping up, chewing and any other common puppy behaviors can also be addressed with your instructor.

Rally

Rally is all about teamwork. You and your dog navigate a course together, side-by-side, at your own brisk pace. You move him through a course where he performs different exercises. The handler can encourage and talk to the dog through the entire course. The course consists of signs instructing the handler on what to do next. Rally is the fun way to continue training and building a relationship with your dog. You can also compete and title your dog in Rally!
