  Thursday Evenings, 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

  Duration: 7 weeks, 6 class meetings; 6/19/25 to 7/31/25

  No class meeting 7/10

  Prerequisite:  Dogs must be 4 months of age or older

  Description: Based on the renowned Really Reliable Recall program by Leslie Nelson, this 6-week class is focused on teaching your dog an emergency recall you can count on. Using positive reinforcement, you’ll train a single, highly dependable cue that your dog will respond to immediately. 

  This class involves a lot of fast movement and high-energy exercises, making it unsuitable for dogs with unmanaged reactivity. 

  A clicker* and plenty of high-value treats are required for participation, as these tools are essential for building the enthusiastic, reliable response this class aims to achieve.

  *Clickers may be available for purchase in class

  While there are club chairs available, students may want to bring their own. Please bring your own crate if needed.

  Thursday Evenings, 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

  Duration: 9 weeks, 6 class meetings; 8/7/25 to 10/2/25

  No class meeting 8/14, 9/11, 9/25

  Prerequisite:  Dogs must be 4 months of age or older

  Description: Based on the renowned Really Reliable Recall program by Leslie Nelson, this 6-week class is focused on teaching your dog an emergency recall you can count on. Using positive reinforcement, you’ll train a single, highly dependable cue that your dog will respond to immediately. 

  This class involves a lot of fast movement and high-energy exercises, making it unsuitable for dogs with unmanaged reactivity. 

  A clicker* and plenty of high-value treats are required for participation, as these tools are essential for building the enthusiastic, reliable response this class aims to achieve.

  *Clickers may be available for purchase in class

  While there are club chairs available, students may want to bring their own. Please bring your own crate if needed.

  Saturday Mornings - 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM

  Duration 8 Weeks:  8 Classes - 8/16/25 to 10/4/25

  Prerequisite: Beginning  class or equivalent

  Description: Intermediate Obedience

  This class builds teamwork between the dog and the handler. The class follows Beginning and increases the skills taught at that level. It is also an excellent class for the dog and handler that have been away from training and need to brush up on their skills. This class  helps to prepare the handler and dog for Canine Good Citizenship testing and introduces skills needed for Rally I.

  Please note: This class is normally repeated several times for dogs and handlers to master the skills presented.  Dogs must master the skills of heeling (including right, left and about turns)  fronts, right and left finishes, and focus to progress to Rally or Advanced classes.  Dogs and handlers learn at different speeds depending on past experience in training, age of dog etc.

  Instructor: Nancy Dougan

  Please Note: Bring your dog to ALL classes

  Owners must bring a paper copy of the current vaccination record even if you brought it for a previous class.
