This workshop will give you the tools to change your dogs emotions and build her confidence in herself and in you. We will cover the basic principles of TTouch and how to apply them to your dog.

Class starts every week on Wednesday's at 6pm. Play With Your Dog Chances are, at some stage in your dog’s life it has destroyed something precious when you were not around. But have you ever considered that this is all because your dog is bored?Our dogs get bored, and when they do the results can be disastrous, from digging tunnels to try to escape, to eating the lounge or your favorite shoes. Like humans, dogs need constant stimulation or they run the risk of getting bored. Put yourself in your dogs’ shoes: would you be bored playing with the same old toys day in day out, or staring at the same old fence all day, every day? Just imagine being forced to watch the same television show every day — that’s how your dog sees your backyard ... the same old show, with the same old noises and same old activities ... B-O-R-I-N-G! This workshop will cover improving your dog's ability to focus on you and respond to your commands. You will learn how to handle the behaviors that occur because a dog is bored, understimulated, underexercised or just not in tune with the human world. The most common behaviors addressed are barking, chewing, digging and escaping. This workshop is about learning to control your dog's behavior by being meticulous in the way you react to what he does. Once you know how to do that, then, you will know for yourself how to apply those skills to the resolution of any particular problem such as separation anxiety. * The importance of play This is an ongoing activity every Saturday evening at 6pm. Maximum of 4 dogs. Price is $15 for one time, 5 sessions for $65, 10 sessions for $120 and 20 sessions for $220.
A well-behaved dog is the result of what kind of owner you ARE, rather than what you DO. You should take this class if any of these words fit your dog: barky, bossy, crazy, destructive, thief, manipulative, fearful, shy, fussy eater, no self-control, mounting, selective hearing, to name just a few issues of the adolescent dog. With the use of reinforcement and timeouts we teach you and your dog self-control for every part of the dog's life.. To learn, the dog must be able to think and to think requires self-control. What is the opposite of self-control? OUT-OF-CONTROL!!! Being out-of-control is what sends most dogs to the pound. Obedience training by itself does not teach self-control. We start with the absolute basics. We use what the dog wants and show him how to get it in appropriate ways. You and your dog will learn canine social etiquette, how dogs use body language to avoid conflict and resolve disputes and how to dentify calming signals and signs of stress and arousal in both yoor dog and yourself.. * Human and Canine Attitudes Classes are 1 hour. $120 for six-week series - maximum 4 dogs. Class starts every week on Wednesday's at 9am. Life Without A Leash - Righteous Recall This is a great way of training your dog to keep him under control when in public, but also to respond to commands, which can help you avoid trouble if your dog suddenly darts towards an unfriendly dog or out into traffic. Like it’s name indicates, off leash dog training keeps you in control of your dog without the use of a leash. One of the true tests of a well trained dog is when they obey commands with temptation all around. In the real world there will be cats who dash by, other dogs, garbage to eat, you name it. That's when all the time spent training can really pay off and make your life a lot easier taking your dog out. Off leash training is necessary to achieve a well mannered dog when not on a leash. Classes are 1 hour. $120 for six-week series - maximum 4 dogs. Class starts every week on Friday's at 9am. * Your dog will learn to be aware of your location and follow you when you move
