| Group Lessons for Puppies and Adult Dogs |
Get your puppy or adult pet off to a great start. Puppies must have a minimum of two
series of vaccinations before starting their training program. All pets should receive
annual vaccinations for their health protection. Dogs over the age of 6 months must have
proof of a Rabies vaccination. Please consider giving your pet a Bordetella vaccination
(Canine Cough) two weeks prior to attending class (or within a 6 month period before class)
Aggressive pets should be evaluated in a private session.
Your first lesson is a 2 hour private lesson / orientation. During this session we will
personalize our training program to address your specific needs. You may ask lots of
questions, receive your detailed training workbook and go home with a great plan for your
dog's training. Your payment of $35.00 is due at the completion of your orientation

Most people are busy, running here and there with little time to spare. The "levels"
system is designed to accommodate the busiest of pet owners. You no longer have to
worry about missed classes, changing work schedules, illness or simply not having the
time to keep up with a week to week training schedule. New students are accepted
weekly, eliminating a waiting period for class enrollment. Multiple pet discounts are
available.

Puppies and adults are taught in the same classes. All dogs are trained as individuals
with different learning capabilities. Puppies are capable of learning the same material as
the older dogs, with the understanding that their attention span is shorter and they
require: frequent breaks, more rewards and greater patience from their owners.NO
AGGRESSIVE/DANGEROUS dogs are permitted to attend class. Animal- or people-
aggressive dogs are evaluated and trained in private sessions. Many of these dogs can
later join class with no further behavior issues. Muzzles may be required around other
pets for safety.

| Level 1 - puppies and adult dogs. Wednesdays at 7 PM OR Saturdays at 8:30 AM OR Saturdays at 7:00 PM |
Attendance Suggestion - 3 sessions. You should stay at a "level" until your dog can
accomplish each exercise consistently. Move on to Level 2 at your own discretion. You
may start at any time. No need to wait!
Level 1
Name Recognition - When you call your dog's name, he immediately looks at you and returns
to you. He can accomplish this in a variety of situations and locations.
Moving Toward You - Your pet comes toward you as you move away from him. He will come
with you without pressure on the leash.
Get Back - Your dog will back up as you enter or leave the house. He will get out of the way as
you walk toward him. Your pet respects your space and does not use his body to control you.
You understand how to correctly use "body blocks" to correct your dog.
Sit - Your dog will learn how to sit on command in a variety of different situations.
Don't Jump Up - You can get your pet to sit instead of jumping on you or your guests. As you
walk near to other people your dog will ignore them and stay with you. He will sit on command
when he is close to people.
Ouch! Don't Bite - Your dog will take food or treats gently. He understands how to back away
and stop "mouthing" or biting you when you say, "OUCH."
Beginning Leash Manners - You will be introduced to different types of training collars and
leashes. Your dog understands basic leash walking skills and that pulling will not allow him
forward motion.
