Focus Foundations for REACTIVE Dogs
Do you find yourself walking your dog in the wee morning hours or late
at night to avoid the possibility of passing another dog/person?
Does launching, lunging, barking and growling keep you from walking
your dog at all due to the stress of it all? Then I believe this class can help.

Focus Foundations uses positive reinforcement exercises that teach you control
and the skill set to handle situations that were normally tense.
The class works on learning to read your dog better and prevent your dog
from rehearsing unwanted behavior. Attention work, attention to the environment and trust building are core elements to keeping reactivity at a minimum, while working to build positive associations with the site of other dogs and people.
Other topics covered are, visitors to the home, destruction in the home
and submissive peeing.

Advanced Focus Foundations
   Utilizing the foundation behaviors taught in Focus Foundations, this class will continue to work on social skills and appropriate behavior around other dogs and people.

    Prerequisite: Completed Focus Foundations class or permission from instructor
following an evaluation.

It is great exercise and fun for both you and your canine partner.
    Whether you just want to have fun in your own living room or get out and compete,
freestyle is a great way to build a wonderful relationship with your dog.

    "Musical Freestyle is a choreographed musical program performed by handlers
and their dogs. The object of musical freestyle is to display the dog and handler in a creative, innovative and original dance, using music and intricate movements to showcase teamwork, artistry, costuming, athleticism and style in interpreting the theme of music."

Intro to Canine Freestyle

Intro to Treibball
Treibball is a new sport that uses exercise balls, making this game accessible to any breed or size of dog and any handler regardless of handler's physical capacity.
The objective of the game is to drive or herd 8 balls into a goal/net, much like soccer. Treibball promotes teamwork between the dog and the handler.
It is a fun and exciting new sport. Be one of the first to try out this hot new sport.

Intro to Nose work
Dogs have an amazing sense of smell and a natural desire to hunt.
This class focuses on teaching you how to encourage and develop your dog's natural scenting abilities by using their desire to hunt and their love of toys, food and exercise.
It's a great class for your dog to have fun, build confidence, and burn lots of mental
and physical energy and to find out just how good is your dog's nose.
