The traditional group class environment adds another dimension to your dog’s socialization skills as he/she learns self-control and to focus in the presence of other dogs and people.  Classes and Clinics are held at our facility in Hamburg (see Directions).  Groups are small and intimate, allowing us to give you and your dog the attention you deserve.  Please register early to ensure a spot!

Puppy Preschool PUPPY PRESCHOOL
(Open to puppies 10-20 weeks of age)
FREE! with Basic Obedience registration or $10/session

Sessions meet EVERY Sunday at 1pm.  Pre-registration is required.

Puppy Preschool consists of half-hour drop-in sessions which emphasize socialization (learning about the world we live in) and handling (learning to accept touch), and address common puppy problems, such as bite inhibition (learning to use mouth appropriately), destructive chewing and potty training, in a safe and nurturing environment.  Learn remedial exercises designed to prevent unwanted behaviors and to prepare your pup for the next step of his education.  A different topic of interest is offered each week.  Puppy playtime is also included.  Preschool is for puppies 10 weeks to 20 weeks of age, at which time they are eligible to transfer into Basic Obedience class.  The "open enrollment" format allows new puppies to enter the program at any time, thereby enriching your puppy's overall experience.  Please see
Dr. R.K. Anderson's letter on the benefits of early socialization and learning. See also Ranger's testimonial.

Loose Leash WalkingLEASH WALKING CLINIC
(Walk Politely on Leash)
                                           $110 for 4-Week Course

This is the most allusive of all behaviors.  There's simply not enough time devoted to it in group classes (including mine!).  That's why we've designed a workshop to develop the techniques to master this skill.   By developing better leash-handling skills and a sense of teamwork, you and your dog are on your way to more enjoyable walks!    

Next Class Starts this Fall!  Contact Us if Interested.
