*BASICS LITE CLASS
Open to all dogs without aggression or fear issues regardless of training level. Whether you have NEVER trained your dog or need to brush up on your skills, we will introduce or advance your skills in loose leash walking, coming when called (recall), sit & down. This class is best suited for people who are good at keeping up with their practice outside of class. We will help you lay the foundation or rebuild the foundation so you and your dog have the right tools to sustain good behavior. Must attend both weeks. $70/dog. Call 371-3647 to register.

*BEYOND THE BASICS SERIES
Class# 1) Recall for Real Life-take the basics skills you have learned, advance and apply them to situations more like your daily life with Fido getting out, chasing animals, running in the park.
Class# 2) Leash Walking for Real Life--take the basics skills you have learned, advance and apply them to situations more like your daily life with Fido walking in the park, visiting stores and restaurants, or a busy street. 
Class#3) Off Leash Basics for Real Life- take your sits/downs to the next level and get them from a distance, and learn to stop your dog at a distance.
Class #4)Parlor Tricks for FUN--now that you have a training relationship with your dog, let's teach her lots of fun tasks to impress your friends, and keep her mind busy. Ideal for dogs who need that extra work.
