BEGINNERS
Beginners is our first 6 week class and includes puppies and young dogs. Focus on attention and socialization are introduced. Basic obedience exercises such as sit, down, stay, come when called and how to walk on a leash are taught. These basic exercises teach the dogs to be well mannered pets that are welcome in the community.

NOVICE
Novice is for the graduates of the Beginners class. This class reinforces and polishes the exercises taught in the Beginners class. Novice class is designed to build on enthusiasm and drive in both the dog and the handler. Focusing on attention continues as well as the recall, sit and down stays, figure 8, stand for examination and heeling on and off leash.

PRE-OPEN
This class is an introduction to Open work refining heeling off leash and teaching retrieving, jumping, drop on recall and long sits and downs with handlers out of the room.

 

 

OPEN
This class is for dogs that can do most Open exercises. It centres on refining those exercises that require more work. It also focuses on the handler (footwork, body language, etc.), trial preparations and procedures as well as distraction training and proofing.

UTILITY
