Our trainer, Jean Gauchat-Hargis is here to offer assistance with any behavior problems you may have with your dog. All classes and private lessons are taught using positive reinforcement techniques, making it an enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. This method of training strengthens the relationship of dog and handler based on trust, not fear.

PUPPY STAR CLASSES:    Ages 8 to 24 Weeks  

We recommend once puppy vaccines are started, to enroll your puppy in a class with a safe learning environment. We offer a small class size limited to 6 puppies for special one on one learning.   Learn how to PREVENT and deal with common puppy problems like house soiling, chewing, nipping, digging, jumping up, and barking. Socialize your puppy with others the same age and with new puppy owners. Teach your puppy to walk nicely on leash, puppy agility, grooming, recall, sit and down on request. This class also qualifies for the AKC Puppy Star program. Lessons are one hour per week for 7 weeks.  Do NOT bring your puppy to the first lesson, this is an owner orientation. Proof of at least one DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies vaccinations given by a veterinarian are required.

Pre-registration is required as classes fill quickly. Class fee $195.00

  BASIC MANNERS CLASS:    Puppies & Adults 16 Weeks and Older    

Want to start your training off right with a new companion or continuing education from a puppy class? Small class size limited to 6 dogs for special one on one learning.   We wish to give a general understanding about how a dog thinks. This helps training become easy for the human and, in effect, helps make training easy for the dog to learn. Behavior problem solving such as dog to dog or people to dog socialization, barking, jumping, crate training, counter surfing and obedience such as, come, heel, sit and down stay taught one hour per week for 6 weeks. The first lesson is an owner orientation only; do NOT bring your dog to the first lesson.  Dogs must have received all DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies vaccinations.
