Tricks with Dale Avick
In this one-hour workshop, we will be teaching some simple tricks to the dogs. You’ll get to start working on these in class but will have some homework to perfect them and then we will follow up with it the next week, plus learn a new one each week. Maybe you are trying to work towards your trick titles or just want to teach your dog something new this is the class for you.
Basic Obedience with Patricia Swinney
BASIC OBEDIENCE includes Sit, Down, Stand, Stay, Come, Walk on lead, Leave it & Take it Nicely as well as addressing house manners.
You can take this class with puppies as young as 3 months old, since we use positive training methods. However we recommend our Tuesday night Head Start Puppy class for puppies 6 months and younger.

Leslie McDevitt’s “Control Unleashed” Program was designed for dogs that are easily distracted or aroused; reactive or uncomfortable around other dogs or people; lacking self-control; or just anxious, stressed & shut-down. Our class will go over the key notes of the program, and will work through her exercises designed to help these dogs “cope” with the real world. Minimum enrollment to start: 4 dogs. Instructor: Sheyla Gutierrez, CPDT-KA.
Whether you just want your dog to be a great companion or hope to start him on the road to competitive dog sports, you’ll need the Basics & more. Encourage your friends and neighbors to train their dogs. It makes for a nice canine community as well as enriching the lives of both human & canine.
