Exciting news for puppy owners! We are offering a new Puppy Foundation Obedience class forpuppies 13 weeks to eight months of age (10 months for toy breeds). This is for puppies who have completed a puppy kindergarten class and are ready to take the next step to becoming a well mannered young dog. This class starts Tuesday, January 28 at 1:15 pm in the obedience training room.

The secret to teaching your puppy to being a well behaved adult dog are the foundation skills you teach them at this young moldable age. In this class we’ll focus on positive motivation, praise, play and treat rewards while building focus and attention. Loose leash walking, sitting politely for petting, impulse control, stays at open doors, home and public manners and Socializing with other puppies.

Assistance for issues you’re working on at home, such as housebreaking, jumping on people, crate training, chewing. Bring your questions to class!

This is a great class to give your pup a head start before moving to a Basic Obedience class.

On the Run Mock Trial Info!!!

We have been getting some questions on how to find the times and run orders for the Mock Trial. You need to CLICK on the latest trial flyer post below then scroll down and click on the discussions tab. Here you will find updated posts about the event and times and run orders for all classes other than agility. For agility we will be utilizing the Agility Gate app. Once we are given a code we will post it in the group so you can see the run order within the app. If you do not have the app you will need to go to your app store and download it.

Due to overwhelming interest in the event we have changed the start time to 10am to accommodate all the runs!

Thank You for your support, we look forward to seeing you all at the event!!
