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.
