POTTY TRAINING OR HOUSE-BREAKING YOUR PUPPY
**** (ADULT DOGS WILL BE EVALUATED FOR EXISTING BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS BEFORE ENTRY TO THIS PROGRAM)
During this training program, your puppy lives with me at my home.  He or she will be trained to eliminate outside, not in the home using positive reinforcement and operant behavior training.  There are play breaks and exercise throughout the day as all this is a part of the puppy’s learning program.  He or she will also be getting important socialization skills with humans and to other dogs as tolerated. Class session: minimum of 5 days.  Included is the home visit for ‘training instructions’ for the humans  to incorporate a schedule to promote success.  If there are no problems after 3 days, then your puppy stays home with you, otherwise, back to me for as long as it takes.   Call for details.

Clicker Basic Obedience - Using the clicker, you'll teach your dog to "target" a specific location and shape obedience commands: sit-down-recall-J-walk and not pull on lease.  You'll also learn how targeting can help you achieve good behavior with your dog in everyday life. Clicker included.
Prerequisite: Basic manners or equivalent skill level
Class session: Six weeks. The first week is orientation - without dogs.


Clicks N' Tricks - Teach your dog these fun tricks using clicker training techniques: spin, paw, crawl, rollover, play dead, back-up and bow. Please no pinch or  'choke' chain collars and bring a bag of high value treats such as meat or cheese.
Class session: SIX weeks. The first class is orientation - without dogs.

CGC - Canine Good Citizen Test Preparation - The Canine Good Citizen class is designed to practice the 10 test items you and your dog must pass to get the AKC CGC certificate, including meeting friendly people politely and accepting petting and grooming; walking nicely on a loose leash alone and through a crowd; demonstrating Sit, Down, Stay, and Come; meeting another leashed dog; remaining calm during sight and sound distractions; and being separated from the out-of-sight handler for 3 minutes (for details, see www.akc.org/events/cgc/training_testing.cfm.) The pass/fail CGC test, given during the last day of class, is the gateway to many therapy dog programs and is accepted by some landlords and insurance companies as an indication that the dog has social skills and that you and your sidekick work well together as a team.
Prerequisite: Dogs must demonstrate basic manners skills.
Class session: SIX weeks. The first week is orientation - without dogs.
