Hounds Around Town: Mondays @5:30pm
This class is designed to help you create a dog who is comfortable and obedient out and about with you. We will work on teaching settling behaviors, focus around distractions, proper greeting etiquette and more! This is the perfect class for dogs who have good basic skills that need to be "proofed" in public. This class is run as a module which enables new teams to start at any time.
Cost: $150/6 weeks
Instructor: Caroline Albert
Dog Sport Foundations: Mondays @6:30pm
Interested in dog sports but don't know where to start? Eager to have fun with your dog while continuing training in an engaging, supportive atmosphere? This class is for you! Each week we will explore a different sport using overlapping skills that build on each other. You'll gain confidence working as a team, deepen your understanding of how animals learn, and become a more adept handler.
Prerequisite: Completion of a Foundation Level class or private assessment. Dog must be able to work in a group without causing disruption (excessive barking or reactivity).
Cost: $175/7 weeks
Instructor: Caroline Albert
Canine Good Citizen Test: Saturday, June 15th @10:00am
Since 1989 the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen program has been recognizing and rewarding suitable canine behavior in communities. Canine Good Citizen is part of the AKC Family Dog Program which encourages dog owners to pursue training with the purpose of ensuring their dogs become well behaved members of society: at home, in public places and in the presence of other dogs. The CGC is also a common prerequisite for many therapy dog groups. All dogs are welcome to participate and there are no age restrictions, although dogs must be old enough to have received all vaccinations. Dogs must pass all 10 items of the CGC test in order to receive the official CGC certificate from the American Kennel Club.
Cost: $15/dog
Pre-registration required.
Due to the fact that we are a small venue and our classes have a short run, we have a no make-up, no refund policy on all our classes. Please plan accordingly. Thank you!

I've had my Morkie, Claudia Jean, at a number of different trainers, obedience and agility classes, both in Vermont and Florida. Caroline is simply the very best. She has a quiet but reassuring manner with both dog and handler, and has taught my pup to behave, pay attention, play and jump hoops almost like magic. We feel very lucky to have found her!"
