Our GROUP CLASSES include six
one-hour sessions held once each week
for the course price of
$120.00 including many extras.
We provide ONE ON ONE BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING
at no extra charge.
This means:
You can CALL at any time: day, night, weekends, etc.
Once you COMMIT to us, we are COMMITTED to
YOU.
You will get HELP/INSTRUCTIONS even before your classes start.
All household members are
encouraged to participate in the training.
We teach YOU to train your dog and
get the CONTROL and RESPECT
from your dog while ENJOYING your dog.
You will be
learning "off lead verbal control" -- where the leash becomes a
FORMALITY and not a NECESSITY.

graduation at the end. Dogs of all ages can be taught these
AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB (AKC) exercises: HEEL, SIT, SIT STAY, STAND, STAND STAY,

five minutes of the first Basic class, the handlers are taught how to control

collar or a "martingale collar"). A 6-ft leash, NOT CHAIN or
RETRACTABLE, is required in order to do all of the
exercises during the entire course.
Please bring current shot records for your dog to the
first class.
