"Pet"iquette

One-on-One Lessons

House Calls

House calls are tailored to meet your needs and canine problems in the comfort of your own home. Such lessons entail humane solutions to bad habits: excessive barking, leadership problems, chewing, digging, boundary problems, feeding issues and other rude behavior. Basic compliance behaviors are also introduced in a fun, motivational manner.

Real Life Classes

Similar in content to the house call, the Real Life lesson focuses more on socialization and confidence building rather than behavioral problems. Lessons are held in various locations including your home. Obedience is enthusiastically taught as well as dog communication and psychology.

Private Lessons in the Park

Designed for the busy lifestyle, the lessons in the park are directed more for dogs without existing behavior problems. "Petiquette", basic skills, proofing, and graduation level techniques are taught using non-invasive technique; these lessons are excellent for students looking towards the show ring!

Prices

Cost for lessons range between $30 to $75. Four lessons are equivalent to one 8 week long group class, so package deals of four are available for a discounted price. If you need a Gentle Leader, it is included in the price as are all behavior sheets and between 45 to 90 minutes of individualized, private consultation with a Certified* Master Trainer.

Classes

Weekly group classes are held in various locations throughout the year. The prices ranges from $50 to $150 per 6 weeks depending on the location. Proof of vaccination is required. Please contact us for the dates and time of the next available class.

Smart Start Puppy Class

The Smart Start Puppy Class emphasizes socialization and basic household manners for puppies 8 weeks to 6 months. The class also discusses how to prevent aggression and bad habits in your puppy. Join the puppy party for a smart start!

Beginning Obedience Classss

In this six week class your dog can learn how to walk nicely at your side, come when called, sit, stay and other basic ‘petiquette’ skills. We will also focus on eliminating bad behaviors with humane, painless methods. Amusing tricks will be included in the program to add to the fun! Join this fun class to make a positive difference in your dog!!

Advanced Obedience Class

The Advanced Class is for dogs headed for the show ring. This six week course concentrates on ‘attention’, precision, off leash healing, hand signals and dog psychology.

Certification Class

Is your dog really well behaved? Would you like him to have the endorsement of the American Kennel Club in believing he is so as well? Join us for the 6 week preparation class followed by the Canine Good Citizenship Test to see if your dog is a good neighbor. This is the foundation for Service Dog work, so if you dog needs a job, this is the place to start!

Obedience, House Manners, Scent Detection and Discrimination, Competition Preparedness, Performances, Problem Solving, Agility, Water Sports, Herding, Mushing, Carting, Search and Rescue, and Adventure.
