Our Intro to K-9 Sports Workshop is for you! Our workshop is packed full of allowing you to and your dog to learn more about each of these fun sports. You might be surprised which ones you and your dog are the most interested in!
All the sports we introduce during the workshop are focused on FUN, using positive dog training methods. Regardless if you plan to compete or not, we will get you and your furry friend set up for success!
Agility: The Discovery Workshop introduces your team to the foundations of Agility while keeping it fun and safe. This active and exciting sport is great for dogs of any age or height, and handlers who enjoy training.

Rally Obedience: This is not only a great dog sport, but also great for teaching necessary manners for your dog. Many folks use this class to prepare for Canine Good Citizen, or many other titles in addition to competing in Rally. In the workshop we will work stations of signs such as beginning leash heeling, sit, down and recall. Great confidence builder!
Flyball: Flyball is an exciting, fast-paced dog team relay sport you can play with your best friend and family. Any dog is eligible to play flyball, no pedigree papers required for this game. Flyball is about having fun with your pet and running the best you possibly can with other people who love their pets too.
Prerequisites: Dogs must be at least 3 months old. Dogs must be able to work comfortably around other dogs and handlers. Dogs love this workshop and it is a great way to test drive several dog sports; however dog sports can be exciting and are not ideal for dogs with dog-dog aggression or on-leash arousal concerns. No flexi-leashes, prong, choke, or e-collars allowed.
A. Life Skills for Sport Dogs (Training Room) $135.00
Your sport dog is brilliant! And yet... they have a creepy start line. Or they struggle when the reward is off your body. Or they don't engage in play. Or they find other dogs' motion a little too exciting. Life Skills for Sport Dogs addresses the foundations for your sport foundations--the building blocks of a clear-headed competitor. Whether you have a grown-up athlete or a young prospect, this is your chance to build engagement, clarify communication, and prepare for high-arousal environments.

Agility Foundations (Formerly Agility 1 for Puppies and Dogs)
This class covers the foundations needed for the exciting sport of agility. A successful agility team starts with a strong relationship between dog and handler. This relationship is the focal point for communicating and teaching the skills needed for each of the obstacles. Whether a first time agility handler or an experienced handler starting a new dog, the games, body awareness and skills taught in this class establish the foundation for success. Like all of our classes, we hand pick our instructors for teaching this very important class which is the "foundation" for success in Agility.
Prerequisites: Puppies/Dogs should be at least 12-weeks-old & have a sit stay. While we keep our class size small, all dogs must be comfortable in the presence of other dogs & people.

Ready to start jumping? Want to set your dogs jumping off on the right paw? Then this class is for you! The focus of this class is on the details of proper form and use of the dog's body for jumping in collection or extension - away and towards the handlers position. Teaching them the fine points of how to use their bodies correctly to encourage effortless, efficient jumping, while reading the location of their handler so they can determine if an organized stride is needed, or not. We cover several of the basic jumping skills needed on most courses to set your team up for success! Great also for dogs already jumping but would benefit from the focused details of understanding how to use their bodies, especially in collection.
Prerequisites: Beg Agility Skills. Dogs must be fully grown (growth plates closed) and minimum of age 1. If you are unsure if your dog's growth plates are closed, please check with your veterinarian.

Serious about starting your teeter training? Have you envisioned what you would like your dog's teeter performance to be? Is the dog driving to the end of the board at full controlled speed without pausing at the pivot point? Where is the dog's weight when they are riding the teeter down? Do they hold the completed position until released?
It's important to know what you want the performance to be, before you start training, then develop the plan to achieve it.
Using the table to table method, this class will put emphasis on building a confident and reliable teeter. Keep in mind, every dog learns at a different rate and has a different training history with its handler.
When your ready to get your teeter trained, this is the class & method for you! The end result of your dog's teeter will reflect the amount of outside class time you are able to train the skills discussed each week. You will need to plan several training session with your dog outside of class time, that involve having access to a teeter and 2 tables.
There is a LOT of training time needed between your scheduled weekly classes and your instructor will give you homework to work on. The Odie arena here at CSZ is set up so you can schedule teeter training time if you do not have access to a teeter at home. As the independent training time for this and the weaves class is high, we do not recommend taking the Weaves and Teeter classes in the same session.
Prerequisites:
* Dogs should be comfortable and happily able to play tug or eat cookies on a wobble board & 12" discs - having things move under their paws. If they are not, we are happy to assist you to progress on this by calling our office for assistance.
* Dogs need a good understanding of the 2-on-2-off position (or 4 on for dogs under 14lbs), with handler a minimum of 5' away to get the most out of teeter training you will receive in this class

Ready? This Extreme Weaves class is for those teams that wish to work on the toughest of weave entries. We will look at how to grow or strengthen reliable weaves regardless of the handlers motion (or lack there of!).
