This is the most influential period in your dog’s life! It is during this time when positive socialization needs to happen to help prevent future behavior problems. This class teaches you how to properly socialize your pup and offers lots of new experiences in a cozy, and clean classroom setting.

S.T.A.R. stands for Socialization, Training, Activity and a Responsible owner, all of the things a dog  needs to have a good life.  You will learn valuable training tips as well as basic skills such as loose leash walking, come when called, sit, down, stay, polite greeting, and leave it.  The instructor will administer the AKC S.T.A.R. test at the end of the program.

This class will build the skills learned in our STAR class.  We will add some fun tricks and games to help enhance the lessons.  We will add more distractions, distance and duration to challenge you and your dog’s basic skills.

CGC training emphasizes responsible owners and well mannered dogs.  The curriculum focuses on items that will be tested at the end of the 6 week session, such as leash walking through a crowd, approach of another dog and handler, recall, long distance stay and handling.  

Does your dog have a friendly and outgoing personality?  Have you thought about sharing your dog with the community by visiting nursing homes, hospitals, schools or churches?  Then Therapy Dog Class is for you!
