Six-week group class for family dogs

​

Whether your dog is totally green or already knows a thing or two, this course is designed for dogs of all ages to learn to focus around distractions. Dogs get positive exposure to novel environments, sights, sounds, smells, other dogs, and people. They learn how to stay connected with you even with other interesting things going on. ​

​

The course focuses on things that keep your dog safe and well-mannered. You get bonus articles about how to get the best behavior from your dog and avoid common training mistakes. It's a great way to bond with your dog while teaching them that the world is not a scary place. Studies have shown that dogs who attend classes when young have less aggression, fearfulness, touch sensitivity, and noise phobia and are more trainable in general*. 

Required vaccines: Rabies (if old enough), Distemper/Parvo (at least 2 for puppies), & Bordetella (Kennel Cough). There is no age requirement.

Will your dog accept petting from a friendly stranger without jumping on them? Can they pass by another dog and not try to invade their space? Can they handle walking through a crowd? 

​

The CGC test is given at the end of the course. If you pass, your dog earns the title of Canine Good Citizen.
