Practical Tricks starting September 8th for 7 weeks $100

A fun and engaging class designed to teach dogs practical household skills while building confidence, focus, and teamwork with their owners.

This class introduces useful everyday behaviors and entertaining tricks that can enhance both your dog’s quality of life and the harmony of your household. Dogs will learn practical tasks such as opening doors, bringing in the mail, picking up dishes after feeding time, retrieving items, and other helpful household behaviors.

The class focuses on easy-to-teach skills that require minimal equipment and can be practiced in everyday life. Along the way, dogs will develop problem-solving abilities, confidence, impulse control, and stronger communication with their handlers.
Whether your goal is to have a more helpful companion, strengthen your bond with your dog, or simply enjoy learning together, this class provides a positive and rewarding experience for both dogs and their people.

Pawsome Manners starting 1pm September 8th for 7 weeks $100

The focus of the class is on practical everyday manners and reliable foundational behaviors.

This class is ideal for dogs over a 1 year old who are still developing maturity and need continued guidance and reinforcement of their basic training. It is also a wonderful opportunity for dogs that have come from shelters to review and build skills they may not have previously learned or may have lost during times of transition and change.

Pawsome Manners is equally beneficial for senior dogs and their handlers. Special attention is given to safety, mobility, balance, and household awareness, helping dogs learn not to get underfoot and teaching important skills such as “Leave It” for dropped medications or unsafe items.
Additional skills may be introduced based on the needs of the dogs and handlers in class. The overall goal of Pawsome Manners is to create a safer, more enjoyable, and successful life together by building communication, confidence, and trust between dogs and their people.

(This class is for dogs over a 1 year that have had little previous training and/or need extra help.)
