Imagine having
the best dog you've ever had! You can, with the help of the Super
Puppy Class designed by Peter and Nancy Vollmer. Learn positive
reinforcement to help your puppy gain self-confidence and learn at the
same time. You and your puppy will become a team: mastering
obstacles, learning basic obedience, and having a great time. This
class is an excellent start for any puppy, whether he's destined for the
show or obedience ring, the field, or warming your feet on the couch.
Give
your puppy a good start. Learn basic obedience along with puppy
and people socialization, utilizing positive feedback to teach your
puppy what it needs to know to be a great companion. This class
emphasizes socialization and learning in a fun way.
A
basic training class for dogs 6 months of age and older, aimed at
training you to train your dog. Emphasis is on the training needed
to make the dog a good companion: walk on loose leash, sit, stand, down,
stay, and come when called. 
Rally
Obedience is a fun competitive sport where the handler and dog follow
the instructions specified on signs to complete a course created by a
judge. This is a fun way to sharpen your dog's basic obedience skills
through more creative exercises than just sit, down, stand and heel. The
Beginner Rally Obedience class focuses on teaching the handlers the
meaning of the different signs as well as teaching the handler how to
teach the exercises to their dog. Prerequisite: your dog must know
sit, down, stand, heel and stay on cue. 
Clicker
training is a fun and very effective way to train your dog.
In this class you use a small metal and plastic device called a clicker
to produce a consistent, distinct sound to signal to your dog that
his action has earned him a treat. Your dog will become very
involved in the training process with clicker training as he tries
to figure what he can do to make you click and give him a treat.
Clicker training focuses on building a relationship between you and
your dog that is based on trust, partnership and reward. This
class is geared toward the beginner-level pet dog but the methods
learned in this class can be refined for competition preparation if
that is your goal. (45 minute
class sessions)
