If you have a puppy between the ages of 8 and 15 weeks, Puppy Kindergarten is the class for you.

Most dog/handler teams without previous class-based training will benefit by starting with the Beginners 1 class, even if the dogs are already responding to some commands. Dogs are situational learners and putting them into a high stimulus environment with lots of distractions (new place, new dogs, and new people in very close proximity) will take a bit of getting used to. The more relaxed, introductory pace of our beginner classes will make for an easier adjustment, as well as giving you extra time to make sure your dog is having a positive experience.

If you and your dog have completed classes elsewhere, or you have successfully self-trained your dog and feel s/he is ready for more advanced work, ask to have the Training Director contact you to discuss which class would be appropriate for you.

In some instances, a dog may show up for the first class and the instructors will realize the class is too elementary or too advanced and the dog (and you the handler) will be moved to the appropriate level.
