- Class sessions are approximately one hour long.
- Private lessons are available.
- Bad Weather notice - during winter ice storms or tornadoes in the
immediate area of the Academy - we will cancel classes and add a
week on so you don't miss any of the information. We believe
everyone's safety should come first. If there is bad weather, your
instructor will try to call you - we will post a note on this web site,
our yahoo groups (which everyone can join), on Facebook and try to
send you an email if we have it. Or - just call your instructor if you
aren't sure.
These are descriptions of some of our core classes that have been offered
at the Academy. We are introducing some new and exciting class
structures and will be updating this list soon!
 | | Puppy "STAR" Puppy- This is designed for puppies 8 to 20 weeks in age. | | | Puppies begin to learn good manners and basic leash training. It introduces
puppies to social play with other puppies and humans. This class will offer
assistance on crate training and house breaking, and address common problems
such as biting, chewing, digging, and jumping. At the end of the class, the puppies
will take their AKC Puppy STAR Test.
|
| | Basic I Obedience - This course teaches and reinforces basic leash control, | | | sit, down, come, stay commands, and helps with social behaviors at home and
away. Any dog four months or older is allowed.
|
| | Basic II Obedience - This course builds on basic obedience course with | | | introduction to front and finish exercises, stand-stay, figure eights, and off-lead
work. The Canine Good Citizen 10 steps will be incorporated into the training.
(Basic Obedience skills required)
|
| | Rally Obedience - This is one of AKC's newest sports. At the Novice level a | | | handler and dog team work their way through a course of 10 - 12 stations
performing the correct maneuvers. All work is done on lead. The class will
introduce the dog and handler to this concept, different stations, and rules. The
competition is not as rigorous as traditional obedience. ( Basic obedience skills
required).
|
| | Conformation - We offer a two hour drop in class for dogs competing in the dog | | | show ring. The classes are designed for people and dogs already familiar with
ring procedures of AKC shows. Emphasis will be on perfecting one's techniques
of better ring presentation.
|
| | Canine Good Citizen Testing - Dogs who complete Basic Obedience will have | | | the opportunity to test for an AKC Canine Good Citizen certification. Dogs need to
pass a 10-step test which includes such thinks as Accept a friendly stranger,
walk through a crown and reactions to distractions.
|
| | Agility - Standard Class: This is a sport in which dog and handler work as a team. | | | It is open to all ages and breeds. The course includes contact objects such as the
dog walk, A-frame, and see-saw. It shows the dog's willingness to work and
requires conditioning, concentration, and training. (Prerequisite: Basic Obedience)
|
| | Pet Therapy Program - this special class is set up to help you pass your Pet | | | Therapy test and help you work towards finding a way to go to hospitals, senior
citizens homes, or other areas that our pets are needed to help warm the heart of
someone who needs TLC
|
| | TDAA Agility - a special training for our smaller breeds to teach them about Toy | | | Dog Agility Association. We have the TDAA equipment to train on and will teach
you the rules of this fun agility organization and help you be prepared to compete
and earn titles with TDAA.
