Mini Classes
Training workshops
|
Mini Workshops allow you to focus on just a few skills at a time. Mini workshops are also ideal for those who have a scheduling issues. An economical choice for getting started or fine-tuning with a focus. No training experience required, may also be used as a refresher for previous clients. |
|
3 weeks/$55. |
|
Please note that all of these skills are covered in our basic Beginner Group.
Due to the condensed nature of the mini workshops, it may not be possible to address issues outside the scope of that particular class (for example, in the recall workshop if your dog is a leash puller, that would have to be handled in a private session or the walking workshop). |

Have a Nice Stay
Would you like your dog to sit in one place while you greet visitors or get deliveries? Wouldn't it be nice to have a dog lie down and not move during a meal? A good, solid "stay" is invaluable. This class will focus on staying until released. We will systematically add time, distance and lots of distraction!

Total Recall
Coming when called, the first time, every time! For puppies and dogs of any age! The class will include formal vs. informal recalls (so that you never compromise your emergency command), foundation imprinting of recall behavior, distraction exercises, progressing to distance recalls without sacrificing reliability, and the recall correction. Humans will learn skills for improved timing and randomization of rewards for that "no matter what" behavior that could save a life.
