Check below for a description of each class. Discounts are offered for multiple dogs from the same owner attending the same class. Contact the trainer to make arrangements.

To register, click on the name of the class you want to attend. Our registration process is handled by Mollyguard.com, but they do not collect any sensitive information about our customers. Nor do they use your contact information in any way (or we wouldn't use them!), so you can register with complete confidence.

We use Paypal for all online payments. You can pay securely with a credit card or an echeck. Online payments are accepted until 6:00pm the day before the first class. Late registrations must be arranged with the trainer.

If you prefer to register offline, call or email us to verify class availability and request a registration form.

Private sessions must be arranged directly with the trainer. There is no online registration process for private sessions; however, payment may still be made online via Paypal after registration arrangements have been made..

For all classes except Basic II and Private Sessions, the first week is for owner orientation. Dogs do not attend until the second week.

Basic I 4 Ages five months and up. This class is for dogs that have not been to school or who need a refresher course. Owners will learn leadership skills with their dogs. Behaviors addressed include jumping and barking. Among other achievements, dogs will learn to wait, come and "leave it".

Basic II 4 Open only to recent graduates of Puppy or Basic I or by permission of the instructor. This class builds on skills already learned, focusing on heel, stay and come. The dog will prepare for the Canine Good Citizen Test.

Puppy 4 Ages ten weeks to five months.  In puppy class, we deal with problems such as house training, food aggression, biting, digging and destructive chewing. Puppies will also learn basic skills like sit, stay and walking nicely on a leash.

Small Breeds 4 Ages ten weeks and up. Similar to Basic I, dogs and their owners get a chance to focus on behavioral and socialization issues specific to small breeds. Your shy little Yorkie will be able to focus on learning instead of having to keep an eye on that big scary Rottweiler.

Kids & Dogs 4 While kids ten and over are always welcome in class with their parent or guardian, this is a fun summer time activity, similar to Basic I, that is designed to help kids teach their dogs manners and tricks!

Coming in 2006 4Watch for Basic Review, a new 4-class review of the Basic 1 class. Entry is by permission of the trainer and the cost is only $85. Also, watch for special workshops and trick classes!

Private Sessions 4 Socialization with other dogs is an important part of your dog's participation in group lessons. However, some dogs have special issues that are best addressed in a one-on-one setting. Usually, any such issues can be addressed in one or two private sessions and the dog is then ready to attend a regular class. Alternatively, some one who is unable to commit to six weeks of class might want to do an accelerated program through three or four private sessions.
