*Back to school classes*
Wow summer goes fast! We have some back to school classes coming up and we would love to have you join us!

🐾 Introduction to Scent Detection
In this class we focus on building a bomb proof indication at the source of target odor. Your dog will learn to work independently while gaining great handling skills with clear communication. Scent detection is great for your relationship with your dog while providing mental and physical stimulation.

🐾 Life Skills and Manners Class
During this class we help you build your relationship with your dog with clear communication and positive reinforcement. Your dog will gain basic obedience skills and become a well mannered member of the family.
