This beginner class is for new-comers. In laying the building blocks for success, we first teach the game sniffing out a scent. This first class works mostly with treats, boxes and a small course. By the end of the six weeks, dogs will be introduced to their first scent.
Our Scent Classes are a recreational version of what you see police and military dogs do! This new sport is based on positive reward techniques and it is wonderful mental stimulation for your dog. Dogs that progress in their abilities can move on to higher level classes to prepare for trials, testing, and titling.
This class will run on Saturdays for 4 weeks, January 17 through February 7.
Unlock your dog’s potential through discovery. The E3 is a signature sensory session where your dog explores diverse scents, textures, and brain-work activities at their own pace.

Whether you are building confidence in a shy puppy or looking to fulfill an active adult dog, the E3 provides a tailored mental workout that strengthens your bond and relieves stress.
This class runs 1:30PM – 3:30PM, but your session will fit in a 30 minute time slot within that time. $30 / per dog for a one-on-on 30 minute lesson.

This “drop in” class will focus on the foundation skills of good leash handling that will make walks with your dog more enjoyable. You will learn how to hold your leash, how to combat pulling on leash, and how to connect with your dog so you aren’t relying on your leash to move your dog.

This class helps you determine if your dog has the innate potential for therapy work by exploring essential characteristics and teaching foundational skills like sit, stay, and leash manners. It’s not an evaluation or training course but rather an opportunity to recognize if your dog’s temperament aligns with the role and to learn the next steps in your journey.
Is your furry friend’s behavior less than ideal? Join our 3-Week Manners Makeover to guide your dog toward becoming a more polite companion! This focused and fun intensive course is designed to help you and your dog build essential foundational skills and self-control in everyday situations.
Over three weeks, we’ll explore key techniques that can make life together smoother and more enjoyable. You’ll work on cultivating good manners such as calm greetings (reducing jumping!), loose leash walking, and attentive responses to cues like sit,” “stay,” and “down” amidst distractions. We’ll also practice “wait” at doorways and for food, supporting your dog’s ability to make great choices and fostering a more patient pooch, all through positive reinforcement methods.
Get ready to deepen your bond and communication with your dog as you
embark on a rewarding journey toward a more harmonious relationship, both at home and out in public.
