Learn how to really communicate with your dog while teaching Come, Attention, Sit, Down, Stay, Impulse Control, Go To Your Place, and Leash Manners, plus a trick of your choice. You’ll enjoy the small class size and fun atmosphere. Families are welcome and kids are encouraged to train. Please bring vaccination records to the first class, but leave your dog at home. The first class meeting is for the humans only. Please review our Class Information page for important details.

This class is the next step after Basic Manners, or for those interested in therapy dog work, or before beginning dog sports. We’ll polish all the basics, with emphasis on loose leash walking, polite greetings, and stays. Dogs will learn how to respond in distracting environments. Final class will include an evaluation for AKC certification as "Canine Good Citizen". For more info on the CGC award and requirements, see the AKC website http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/program.cfm

Level 1 conformation class to equip owner/handlers with the tools to take their dog into the show ring. Using positive training methods, teach your dog how to free stack, gait and show themselves off with confidence every time you enter the ring. In addition to the basics, familiarize your dog with body handling, table work, gaiting patterns and boredom busters that are an essential part of any handler’s repertoire.

All dogs have an amazing ability to locate and follow scent. The sport of K9 Nose Work is growing fast because it uses the dog’s desire to hunt and their love of food and toys/play. All dogs can participate. Nose Work is a super method to help your dog build confidence, have fun, and use mental and physical energy. Plus, it’s simple to do and no special equipment is required.

Schedule & Cost: Six weekly 90 minute classes, $150.

Practice manners and obedience in real life settings. Join other teams for visits to area coffee shops for socialization and training. Dogs must be non-reactive on leash and know their basics (sit, down, stay). This is a great opportunity to get out and about with your dog, have some fun and practice good dog manners at the same time.

Schedule & Cost: 8 weekly one-hour classes, locations around The Woodlands, $80.

Combining basic obedience skills with the variety of agility, Rally-O is a fun new sport that will take your dog’s performance to the next level. Instead of agility obstacles, teams follow different courses of obedience-related tasks. Rally is great for enhancing dog/handler focus and teamwork, as it encourages praise and fun in the ring.

Schedule & Cost: Six weekly one-hour classes, $150. This class is offered periodically, so if you don’t see it on the schedule, please let us know of your interest by sending a request form.

Whether you want to try Rally, Freestyle, or Obedience, heeling is an essential element to success. For Agility and Flyball, you need a dog who can work at a distance from the handler. In this class we will focus on teaching the dog to find and maintain heel position on both sides of handler. We’ll also work on sit, down, and stay at a distance, and going out to a target. Class is indoors; many exercises will be off leash. Dogs should be tolerant of other dogs/people, and familiar with clicker training.

Schedule & Cost: Six weekly one-hour classes, $135 for current and previous clients. This class is offered periodically, so if you don’t see it on the schedule, please let us know of your interest by sending a request form.

This class for continuing students explores the more advanced applications of clicker training. To avoid interfering with training for competition, we experiment and learn within the framework of tricks. Class is limited to four dog/handler teams.
