Hi all, I’m looking forward to warmer weather to restart my full class schedule. Beginning in April (I hope), I will be resuming Manners, Rally, Friday Night Walkabout, and Agility classes. Meanwhile, I’m continuing with Puppies, Small Dog Social, and CGC/Therapy Dog classes from February. Most participants are continuing in these sessions; however, there is availability for one or two students in each class. If you'd like to join us, your start date will be the week of March 9th.
Small Dog Social Mondays at 12:30 Dogs under 20 pounds enjoy off-leash play with other pups and their people. I interrupt social time now and then by introducing games, teaching skills, or sharing activities designed to boost confidence. This class is especially helpful for shy dogs. All dogs must be comfortable interacting off leash with others. Therapy Dog Prep/Canine Good Citizen Thursdays at 6:00 For dogs who are ready to go beyond basic skills and behave nicely in public environments.
Practice skills needed for Therapy Dog testing Therapy Dogs of Vermont (I don’t administer this test.)
Practice skills from the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test which will be administered on the last day of class. CGC test items
It’s fine if you’re not interested in testing, the skills are helpful for all dogs.
Puppy Preschool (Currently, Thursdays at 9:00. This may change, email me your preference) This class is ongoing, talk to me about a start date.
For puppies under 14 weeks at enrollment.
Focus on creating a strong relationship with your puppy.
Age specific issues: crate training, jumping up, attention, etc.
The socialization window and how to maximize this important stage.
