FUN!damentals

This unique class is a great stepping-stone for pets fresh out of puppy kindergarten or pet obedience, as well as a helpful refresher for more advanced dogs. We will use fun and games to teach your dog useful life skills such as:

• Conditioning your dog to love their crate (even if they don’t like it right now)
• Polite manners at doors (no rushing out ahead of you or squeezing around you to escape… even if your arms are full of groceries)
• Self control in the face of your dog's biggest distractions
• Using non-food rewards to train your dog
• Coming enthusiastically when you call, no matter what (even if someone else is offering your dog a treat)

Attendance at each class is required unless you have prior permission by the instructor, as each week builds on the one before. A hard plastic or wire crate that your dog fits in comfortably is required for each class.

Many people are worried that because their dog doesn’t already come when called or dislikes their crate, they are not ready for class. You are more ready than you think you are! This class is especially helpful for just this sort of dog. Expect to spend each class laughing and playing with your dog and to see your dog’s behavior improve by leaps and bounds!
