Adult Intermediate
Prerequisite: Adult Basic
Reviewing what we learned in Adult Basics we will solidify the sit, down, stay, come, and heel, by adding the three D’s (distance, distraction, and duration) to our skills to help ensure you and your dog have a solid foundation.
We will introduce the "Finish" also known as “come to heel”, “place”, and “touch” commands, learn how to sit politely for pets, and of course have fun!
Tuition is $400 for a five (5) week course

Adult Advanced (AKC Evaluation optional)
Prerequisite: Adult basics and Adult Intermediate.
CGC dogs are well-mannered dogs that have proven they know the basics and beyond.
We will briefly review those, and then move on to cover the ten skills required to pass the Canine Good Citizen evaluation. Skills covered include: politely greeting a stranger, loose leash walking, sitting politely for petting, grooming and appearance, sit and down stays, walking through a crowd, come, reactions to other dogs, reaction to distractions, and supervised separation.
Tuition is $400 once a week for 6 weeks
If you would like to take the CGC evaluation for certification at the end there is an additional $50 fee to cover supplies.
CGC is just the beginning of the certifications you can get for your dog.

Private Lessons (Adult Basic & Intermediate)
One-on-one lessons are for the doggos that need a little boost in confidence before joining a larger group. These would be for our shy, fearful, even a little snarky kiddos. This is also for the pet parents who would rather go at their own pace and have lots of 1 on 1 with the instructor. We will tailor a lesson plan to the unique needs of you and your star pupil.
Tuition: $400.00 for 5 one hour sessions conducted in your home where your pup is comfortable.
-
Private Target Training
For those pet parents needing assistance with a behavior such as walking on leash, recall, and jumping up on people, we can help.
The initial session will be 90 minutes to allow you to learn the new skill or technique, practice, and get feedback on day one.
Tuition: $125 for the first session and $70 for each one-hour follow-up session based on need.
