Puppy Class
Puppy class is for pups 6 months or younger. This class will focus on socialization skills and basic obedience skills (sit, stay, down, heel & come). We will also cover puppy care and proper manners. It is so important for your puppy to get properly socialized in their early stages of life.
Dog obedience will teach your pup to listen to you and will build the bond between you and your pup. We will also start you off on the right track to teach your pup to have good manners and not develop unwanted behaviors.

Beginner Obedience
Beginner class is for dogs who have never had obedience training. All dogs should go through obedience training. Obedience helps dogs with shy, aggressiveness or dominance issues.

Rally - Beginners & Advanced
Rally is a dog sport that is taking the nation by storm. Rally offers both the dog & handler an experience that is fun and energizing. Dog & handler work together to complete a course of designated stations (10-20 depending on the level). Each station has a sign providing instructions regarding the skill that is to be performed.
For beginners I will progressively teach you each sign and skill from Novice thru Masters. We will then build a course for you to perform on.
Advanced handlers will run thru an Advanced, Excellent or Masters course and I will observe how you handle the course with your dog. I will suggest what improvements can be made for your team.
Katana and I are one of the top teams in Rally. We have 41 perfect scores & numerous high combined & high triple combined in trial scores. I have helped many new teams get started & experienced teams improve their scores.
