I have been a dog trainer for going on two years. I specialize in obedience training, and am working towards behavioral psychology.
A variety of training options are available for everyone. All of the group classes run for six weeks and is simply one hour, once a week. Inside these classes you will learn a lot about your new puppy or your best friend!
Group classes are:
Puppy 1 (8 weeks to 6 months of age)
-Chewing, digging, and other puppy behaviors.
-Crate training
-Potty training
-Positive management of your puppy's home and environment.
-The natural behavior and physiology of puppies.
-How they think, learn, and communicate.
-Lure and reward training method
- "Sit"
-"Down"
-"Stand"
-"Come"
-"Loose leash walking (Starting to heel)"
-"Pre-Stay"
-Puppy Handling
-Puppy playtime, great to get our babies socialized.
Adult 1 (6 months and older)
- How dogs think, learn, and communicate.
-Positive reward based training.
-Lure and reward training method.
- "Sit"
- "Down"
- "Stand"
- "Come"
-"Loose Leash Walking (Like your heel)"
- "Stay"
- "Wait"
- "Leave It"
Puppy 2 - is for puppies who have completed Puppy 1, and want or need more advanced training.
- "Sit"
- "Down"
-"Stand"
- "Come (Greater distractions)"
- "Loose Leash Walking (More in depth)"
- Tricks as time allows.
Adult 2 - For adult dogs who have completed Adult 1 and also for puppies who have completed level 2.
CGC (Canine Good Citizen) Course - Prepares dogs (puppies and adults) for taking the CGC Test.
The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test helps prepare dogs to become therapy dogs or service dogs.
This test is also good for pet parents who simply want to show that their dog is a beneficial part of society! This is especially good for bully breeds and larger dogs, because it gives proof that your dog is well trained, has good manners and does NOT fall into the stereotype that is most attached to bully breeds!
The CGC is certified through the AKC (American Kennel Club), so when a dog completes this test, they will receive an official certificate from the AKC showing that their canine is a Good Citizen!
