Puppy Play 'N Train:
Puppy foundation training is one of the most important things you can do with your pup to make them a well behaved and well-adjusted adult dog. This 6 week class introduces you and your pup to various training methods and commands, how to curb negative behavior such as jumping and mouthing, crate training and housebreaking and how to greet and socialize with dogs and people. It also includes playtime with the other puppies in each class and sometimes the trainer's adult dog for balance. Interested in your puppy achieving the AKC S.T.A.R. certificate? It is just an extra $10!
Class is open to puppies who are 5 months and younger at the start of class and have had at least their first round of core vaccines (please note most puppies are too young for rabies so that is not required for this class.) Read the AVSAB position statement on socialization before fully vaccinated by clicking here. Class size ranges from 2 to 8 puppies.

Fun and Focus:
Does your dog love to play but has trouble listening to you and following commands when distracted? Do they forget they know you or forget their training at the dog park? Let's work on changing that! Fun and Focus combines playtime for dogs 6 months and older with basic commands such as recalls, leash walking, sits and downs. Dogs must be known to be dog friendly and social with positive history in dog. Pre-evaluation required. Please note that this is not a class to work on socialization, this class is to strengthen commands. Class size limited to 6 dogs and owners must have a clicker before class start as we will use this as a tool with recalls only. Taught by Lori.

Basic Obedience Level II- Stations
Do you want a fun way to learn how to refresh and refine responses to commands, have your dog respond to you from a slight distance and with distractions present? We'll take the basic commands and use them at 8 different obedience stations each week. Stations include tasks like longer recalls over toy distractions, loose leash walking patterns, pooch push ups sequencing several commands together like sit, down, stay and come from a slight distance! Each handler will also learn how to improve your dog's focus and gain your dog's trust to teach them the stations and new behaviors. The class size limited to 6-7 dogs.

Parkour for the Pups!
Dog Parkour is similar to the human version where the participants leap and climb over and around everyday objects but without the extreme and dangerous stunts. Dogs and handlers will be taught to complete tricks, behaviors and commands around obstacles that include balancing, jumping and crawling. Parkour, sometimes called Urban Agility, is a fun way to add excitement to every day walks, enrich your dog’s experiences and refine their attention and focus while building your bond with your dog. Class limited to 6 dogs and classes will alternate between the facility local parks. Participants will be notified of location ahead of time. Taught by Jenny.
