TEAM BUILDERS CLASS - Open to pets
Training is a life-long adventure. Dogs do not come equipped with the knowledge or skills to understand our crazy human world – it’s our job to teach them skills to help them succeed, guide them through challenges, advocate for them, and meet their instinctual needs. Our Team Builders class series is fantastic if you want to learn how to train your dog yourself, and put in the time building that relationship.
Classes cover: attention to you around distractions; self-control; polite greetings; loose leash walking; come when called; stay and go to bed/stay; wait at boundaries; back up/excuse me; play, enrichment, exploration and leadership. All of our group classes are small, so you’ll get a lot of instructor attention. Dogs must be up to date on rabies, DHPP, and bordatella vaccinations for all training appointments. Proof of vaccination must be provided at the time of the registration; we will NOT hold any spot.
