Heal Faster, Move Better! Join us for a

workshop for owners of both pet and performance dogs will take place

speed recovery from illness, and reduce pain in dogs and cats from

Introduction to Competition Obedience!

class for those who want to get started in Competition Obedience!
This class will help you develop solid foundation behaviors needed
for the Novice level of obedience as well as the beginnings of Open
and Utility skills. You will learn how to teach your dog to heel, do
figure 8's, come front, finish right and left and stay. We will
also begin jumping, scent work, and dumbbell skills. All is taught
so that 'both ends of the leash' have fun. Class will meet on
Thursdays at 8 PM beginning April 8th and will run for 6 weeks.
Completion of a basic obedience course is required; since class size
will be limited, pre-registration is necessary. Cost for this class
is $145. Come have fun with your dog while you both learn about the
exciting sport of Competition Obedience! FMI or to register, call

Control Unleashed I with Emma Parsons!
This 6 week course will help to create a focused and confident dog
that can work around lots of other distractions, especially other
dogs. Class will be held Sunday mornings from 10 - 11 AM. This
class is not for the "aggressive" dog, but for the "reactive" dog
that loses his concentration in a "doggy" type environment (no
biting dogs, please) - in other words, they lack self-control when
they encounter another dog. Games and exercises will take place
during class to help the dog practice attention and teach him to
think through his arousal. This class comes directly from Leslie
McDevitt's "Control Unleashed" book. Dogs and handlers who sign up
for this course should have taken a basic obedience training class
using clickers; if it has been awhile, or you have never used a
clicker to train, you will need to take a couple of private lessons
to learn about clicker training. Cost for this course will be $160
and there will be a limited number of sign-ups taken. FMI or to
register, please call 508-553-9300. |
| 4/11/10 |
Control Unleashed II!
Continue to work with Emma Parsons to create a focused and confident
dog! This class builds upon the curriculum that was taught in
Control Unleashed I, with more opportunities to practice attention
and have your dog work through his arousal. This class will be held
Sundays at 11 AM for 6 weeks. Pre-requisite: Control Unleashed I.
Cost for this course is $160 and sign-ups will be limited. To
register, please call 508-553-9300. |
