Life Skills, Household Manners, CGC Class! September in Howell

https://borderhausskennels.as.me/?appointmentType=97322450

4 Weeks -Tuesdays -6-7pm - Brilliant Borderhauss Dog Training

Does your dog pull on leash, ignore you when it counts, jump on guests, or just seem like they missed the memo on how to live politely in a human world? This class is for you.

Life Skills Foundation is a 4-week group class designed for dogs of any age, any breed, and any starting point. Whether you just brought home a puppy or you've been living with a "work in progress" for years, this class builds the real-world foundation your dog needs to be a confident, connected to you, and happy.

Our goals are to use frustration free, positive reinforcement methods. We focus on the skills that actually matter in daily life; not just sit, stay, down in a perfect environment. We help you to learn to read your dog and adjust/help your dog for the environment in the moment.

What we cover:
Loose leash walking
Sit, down, and stay with real-world distractions
Recalls (even when something better is happening)
Polite greetings and/or working around people and dogs
Settle and impulse (stimulus) control

Focus and connection with you as the handler
This class also serves as a pathway toward the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. CGC testing is offered separately upon completion.

Class size is limited to 6 dogs to ensure every team gets individualized attention in a small, supportive group setting.
Cost: $149, Tuesdays, September 15 - October 6, 6-7pm

Adventure Class is coming up, and this one is all about doing rather than drilling.

If your dog enjoys movement, problem-solving, novelty, and learning how to stay regulated around other dogs, this class is for you. We’ll rotate through multiple stations focused on body awareness, confidence, fitness, targeting, relaxation, and real-life skills—all on leash, at your dog’s pace.

This is a great option for dogs who love to think, dogs who need help staying under threshold, and handlers who want practical skills that transfer to real life. Limited spots available so each team gets support and space. Reach out if you want in or have questions about fit.
