4 Weeks – $165/course

Bored with your dog at home? Need something to wear out your dog AND your kids? Take a look at our upcoming intermediate skills class! In this class we will be proofing obedience behaviors such as Stay and Leave It, but we will also be teaching you fun new skills such as doggy brainteasers and tricks! Each week we will discuss how to problem solve some of the most common behavioral issues such as jumping, begging, and barking, and we will also teach you one new trick and one doggy brainteaser per week! This class is perfect for dogs (and humans!) who are going stir-crazy indoors, but it’s also designed for maintaining and proofing obedience skills in preparation for more advanced training later on, such as the Canine Good Citizen program or an advanced obedience class.

In this class we will cover information about:

Clicker Training

Shaping

Effective Communication with your K-9 Companion

Problem solving unwanted behavior

Obedience Skills

Tricks

And much more!

Prerequisites: Your dog will need to know how to Sit and Down/Lay Down on command, and you will need to provide treats, a collar and leash, a few toys, a toy bin/ shoe box, a large cardboard box (or other container large enough for your dog to fit inside, such as a laundry basket or suitcase). A clicker is encouraged but not required.
