(limited to 6 dogs) 4 weekly sessions/60 minutes Saturdays, 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. Dogs in the House* *Dogs in the House will focus on the "stationary dog." Sits, downs, stays, not jumping up on people, going to a specific place (and then, of course, staying there). Jun 5-Jun 26, Sep 11-Oct 2 Dogs in Motion** **Dogs in Motion will focus on attention and recalls, loose leash walking, getting chicken bones found on the sidewalk out of your dog's mouth (eeeuw!!!) and teaching your dog what calm behavior looks like in the midst of riotous play. Feb 27- Mar 20th, Apr 10-May 1, Oct 30-Nov 20 You can take either class in any order, or feel free to take the one that addresses your particular problem area. There is overlap of general issues... ones that really do need to be repeated.... |
