Puppy Play 'N Train:
Puppy foundation training is one of the most important things you can do with your pup to make them a well behaved and well-adjusted adult dog.  This 6 week class introduces you and your pup to various training methods and commands, how to curb negative behavior such as jumping and mouthing, crate training and housebreaking and how to greet and socialize with dogs and people. It also includes playtime with the other puppies in each class and sometimes the trainer's adult dog for balance.  Interested in your puppy achieving the AKC S.T.A.R. certificate?  It is just an extra $10!


Class is open to puppies who are 5 months and younger at the start of class and have had at least their first round of core vaccines (please note most puppies are too young for rabies so that is not required for this class.) Read the AVSAB position statement on socialization before fully vaccinated by clicking here.  Class size ranges from 2 to 8 puppies.   Taught by Debbie.

Basic Obedience Level II- Stations
Do you want a fun way to learn how to refresh and refine responses to commands, have your dog respond to you from a slight distance and with distractions present? We'll take the basic commands and use them at 8 different obedience stations each week.
Stations include tasks like longer recalls over toy distractions, loose leash walking patterns, pooch push ups sequencing several commands together like sit, down, stay and come from a slight distance! Each handler will also learn how to improve your dog's focus and gain your dog's trust to teach them the stations and new behaviors. The class size limited to 6-7 dogs. Taught by Debbie.
           $210 for six weeks  

                           
Wednesday nights:       6:30 - 7:20 pm       Sept 24 - Nov 12 (skip 10/8 & 10/29) 
​                                                                                                                                         (6 spots open)
