Rally Intermediate / Advanced Tuesdays @7:40-8:30pm

NYOC Dog Training

This class teaches you and your dog to negotiate the more challenging courses at the Intermediate/Advanced level and helps prepare you for off leash work.  All CKC Intermediate and Advanced level exercises will be covered.

While building the attention and cooperation required for off-leash work, the class will include all the skills necessary at this level including jumps, pivots and working around required food distractions.

Prerequisite:  Dogs and handlers must have earned a Rally Novice title or  have the permission of the instructor. Please contact us at nyoc.training@gmail.com for further clarification.

Rally Novice Tuesdays @6:45 – 7:30pm

NYOC Dog Training

Our Rally Obedience Beginner class is an exciting and fun way to try out a dog sport.  You and your dog will learn to work more effectively as a team while refining and enhancing skills learned in previous classes.

You and your dog will negotiate a course made up of 10–12 signs indicating the next skill the dog should perform, such as sit, down, stay, turns, heel, or halt. Each week you will learn new skills or reinforce existing ones, while enhancing the team work between you and your canine partner.  You and your dog will have so much fun you might even want to enter our rally obedience trial in June.

Prerequisite:  Successful completion of Next Steps in Dog Training or Foundations for Dog Sports or by permission from the instructor.  Please contact us at nyoc.training@gmail.com for further clarification.

Margaret Schneider will be speaking to the club about “Do Dogs Really Keep Us Healthy?” Margaret is a PhD in Psychology at the University of Toronto. She has studied this topic, and has written papers about similar topics. 

The science is divided on this topic in spite of what many of us feel! Come and hear what the research says.

Missy Maher, our photographer, will be taking photos of dogs on the Saturday and Sunday.  You do not have to be in the trial to come and get your dog’s photograph done!  If you aren’t in the trial, just bring your dog in via the main entrance where Missy will be set up and avoid coming into the actual arena.
