Our Building Basics group class is our launching point for our Core Obedience Program. All dogs start at this level regardless of their previous training experience. However, those with foundational training can progress quickly through the appropriate levels. To graduate, students must demonstrate proficiency in the following behaviors, progressively increasing duration, distance, distraction, and diversity, and transitioning toward real-world applications as determined by the instructor: sit, down, stay, loose leash walking, come and appropriate greetings of people. All dogs must have Rabies and Bordetella (for puppies, age appropriate vaccines are accepted if they are not old enough for Rabies) and should not exhibit aggressive behavior on a leash, such as excessive barking, lunging, or snapping towards people or other dogs.

A dog's most important sense is their smell. Sniffing actually activates the seeking system part of their brain releasing dopamine, which results in an increase in their attention and feeling of motivation. All and all, it will make your dog feel good, raise their confidence and provide dogs of all temperaments, health stages or age ranges an outlet for exercising themselves mentally in a safe and fun environment. For the first few weeks of class, we will be building up their drive to search for food as well as learning how to incorporate adding a start line, creating a routine and showing you how to interpret your dog's body language. We will then start to move away from searching for food to learn how to signal for the odor of birch. Dogs must be four months or older, have up-to-date Rabies and Bordetella vaccinations prior to the first class and not be aggressive on leash (i.e excessive barking, lunging, snapping, etc.) towards people or other dogs.
When you bring your dog out into public, do they pull continuously on leash? Do they see another person, dog, woodland creature or just simply want to reach a really delectable smell that causes you to suddenly lurch forward, potentially hurting your arm in the process and makes walking nearly impossible and just downright unenjoyable? In our Leash Pullers Anonymous class, we will help you teach your dog to start walking on a loose leash more consistently by implementing methods and techniques that show your dog that staying at your side is much better than pulling ahead. We will also cover the pros and cons of different tools that you can use to help you with your loose leash walking journey and begin to prepare you for how to handle more difficult distractions out in the real world. It is common for students to re-enroll in Leash Pullers Anonymous multiple times in order to strengthen their skills before moving on to the next class: Urban Adventurers. Dogs must be five months or older, have up-to-date Rabies and Bordetella vaccinations prior to the first class and not be aggressive on leash (i.e excessive barking, lunging, snapping, etc.) towards people or other dogs.
