Puppy class is for puppies under 16 weeks of age and their families. We recommend a booster vaccination or your veterinarian’s approval to attend. (The complete vaccination series and rabies are not required). We limit the classes to nine families. (The exception might be if one of the staff has a puppy). Also anyone can attend as much as they like without their puppy, for free. We often have someone auditing a course while they are waiting for a puppy, or their pup is too young to start. The pups in class benefit from seeing that many more people in a nice way; parents can focus on their kids and then go home and practise with their puppy. Everybody wins! It is our puppy head start program :>)
Our Level One Basic Good Manners class is seven lessons. The registration fee includes a booklet the first week and weekly handouts to help follow along and practise at home. The maximum enrolment in each group is 10 dogs. If there are more than six dogs, there will be two staff with the class. If a student has to miss a class or just wants to review, he/she is welcome to attend any other class without their dog for free. Our focus here is on foundations for people and pets. People learn teaching and management skills. Pets learn the human rules of how to get what they want living with people. We offer several training levels, including Rally Obedience, a gentle and happy style of competition that has three or four levels at which to compete. One of our Instructors is actually a qualified Rally Obedience judge. Several folks have successfully competed in Rally O and, although we do not specifically teach CKC obedience, many of our students have gone on to do very well in CKC obedience competition. We do offer private behaviour consultations. Individual coaching, one topic classes (loose leash walking, tricks, training skills) are also offered. There are good places in the area teaching the specifics of Agility, Herding, Flyball, and CKC Obedience. We concentrate on the basics so people and pets have a strong foundation. Contact the office for registration fee information, class availability and to register.Please come and visit. We look forward to meeting you.
