January Training Classes

Hey now, Happy '09!
I've come to announce the first training classes of 2009. I've decided to switch things up a bit to get the year off in a new direction. My classes seem to have build a following, which I love. It's now my job to keep everyone moving forward, learning new things and most of all having fun with our dogs! I will be running the usual puppy class, but have moved it to Monday night to accommodate a few new pups. I have also dropped the Junior Focus Class for this session. In its place I will be offering an Intro to Rally-O. For those of you that don't know what Rally-O is...

"Rally-O combines characteristics of sports car racing, dog agility, and traditional obedience into a new fun sport"

"Dog and Handler teams navigate a course with numbered signs indicating different exercises to perform such as Sit-Down-Sit, Straight Figure 8, Send Over Jump, Recall Over Jump. Teams navigate the course at a brisk, continuous performance without direction from the judge. Handlers are encouraged to talk to their dogs during the performance."

I have also decided to include a private home visit for all group class participants. I believe this will help problem solve any issues that may be occurring at home, fill in any grey areas and offer a full hour of individual attention that can't be offered any other way. I don't know of any other trainers or classes that offer this...I'm excited! Private visits must be scheduled and used during the 6 week course. I'm sorry no discounts for not taking advantage of this offer.
