Beginning Level Classes Puppy Preschool (6 weeks, 50 minutes, $150) Saturdays, 11:00-11:50am (next session starts August 27, 2011) - Instructor: Vicki Ronchette All of our puppy classes are taught by Vicki Ronchette, CPDT, CAP2. Vicki has been involved in puppy classes for over 20 years. Many training school put the least experienced trainers in charge of puppy classes. We believe that puppy classes are among the most important classes that you will ever attend with your dog and that they should be taught and run by the most experienced trainers available. Puppy classes shape how your dog will grow up and relate to other dogs, other people and you. We take great care in making sure that each puppy is socialized in a way that benefits him and protects his comfort level to ensure positive experiences at this critical period in his life. This is a "make or break" time in a puppies life that even one bad experience can greatly impact, this is why we do everything we can to make sure that our puppy classes give puppies the best start possible. Puppy socialization class is for puppies between the ages of 2 and 5 months old. This class is designed to socialize puppies with other puppies as well as new people and to help owners deal with puppy issues such as potty training, biting, jumping up and more. We also get the puppies started on learning the fundamental obedience behaviors such as sit, down, come and loose leash walking. Owners should bring a 6 foot leather, nylon or cotton lead, buckle or snap collar and treats, as well as proof of shots. Puppies must have had at least 2 shots and puppies over 4 months old must have had their rabies shot. Beginning Obedience/Manners Class (6 weeks, 1 hour, $150) Saturdays, 10:00-11:00am (next session starts August 27, 2011) - Instructor: Vicki Ronchette Beginning Obedience is recommended for dogs 5 months of age and older. This class is designed to teach owners how dogs learn. Students will be taught how to train their dogs to heel, sit, come, lie down, stand, stay as well as others. Dogs do come to the first class.

Intermediate and Advanced Level Classes Fun with Agility (6 weeks, 50 minutes, $150) Saturdays, 9:00-9:50am (next session starts August 27, 2011) - Instructor: Vicki Ronchette You’ve seen agility on television where the dogs run through a course of obstacles such as tunnels and jumps under the guidance of their handlers.
