UPCOMING FUN SCENT GAMES CLASS!

Does your dog love to use their nose or are you looking for a fun activity for your dog that provides mental stimulation? Then join the Fun Scent Games class! Your dog will learn fun games to search for food. This popular sport enables you to wear your dog out mentally so it is ideal for active dogs, dogs with physical limitations or anyone who just wants to play a fun game with their dog. Dogs learn to systematically search boxes for hidden food. The level of difficulty increases each week and it is fascinating to watch the dogs catch scent and make a find. According to Dr. Ian Dunbar, mental exercise can tire a dog out more than physical exercise.

Start Date: Sunday, January 4th
at 8:00 a.m.
Length: 4 weeks
Location: La Mesa
Cost: $160
*This class is not appropriate for aggressive or highly reactive dogs

******Upcoming Total Recall Class!******

“Come” is a life-saving cue and one of the most important things you can teach your dog. If you want your dog to enjoy some off-leash activities, but you are not confident he/she will respond to the “come” cue or you have a dog that bolts through doors then Total Recall is the class for you.

This class will focuses on exercises and games to strength your bond with your dog, to work on attention with distraction and to reliably come when called in off leash areas.
Recall is one of my favorite things to teach and I am excited to offer this class again, starting on Saturday, January 3rd at 8:00 a.m. in La Mesa.

Start Date: Saturday, January 3rd at 8:00 a.m.
Length: 4 weeks
Cost: $160
Location: La Mesa

Our choices impact their choices.
If you're not making progress, let's look at just how heavily our decisions can impact reactivity.

Do we really know whether your dog prefers to keep moving or stay still and quietly observe and does this change depending on their arousal or anxiety they may feel?

Have we just grabbed some kibble from the cupboard because they need rewarded? Have you tried a far better food reward?

Would your dog prefer to engage in play while they're at that all important distance away from the trigger or would that play then tip into overarousal and make them more prone to react?

Are we not changing where they walk because it was your usual route and that's where you are having the most difficulty?

Have you observed "coincidences"?
They're likely not coincidences at all but noticeable clues you are beginning to pick up on. Note those down, in fact after every walk write down those little things you saw and the subtle changes too.

Dogs usually show us what helps them, long before they feel the need to firmly tell us what doesn't.

Upcoming Leash and Community Manners Class!

When you are out in the community, does your dog lack attention, pull on leash or need help with appropriately greeting new people or politely passing other dogs? Then the Leash and Community Manners class is for you.

This class will focus on exercises and games to work on attention with distractions, loose leash walking skills (including stops and about turns), impulse control, polite greetings with people and politely passing other dogs.

This is a great class to help you prepare for the CGC (Canine Good Citizen) prep class.

Start Date: Sunday, January 4th at 8:00 a.m.
Location: La Mesa
Length: 4 weeks
Cost: $160
****This class is only open to dogs that have completed the basic training class with us and is not appropriate for dogs that are aggressive or highly reactive with other dogs or people.
