Beyond Basics - Wednesdays at 6:00
Does your dog have good foundation skills that fall apart in distracting environments? Does your dog only behave when you have treats in your pocket? This class is designed for dog/handler teams ready to move on to the next level of training. Prerequisite: Non-reactive dogs that have good basic skills in sit, down, stay, and heel (loose leash walking) in a non-distracting environment. It is also helpful if they understand the concept of "leave it".
The class is designed to take your dogs to next level and gain their cooperation even in an exciting environment. Although we recognize consistency is ideal, this class is ongoing and designed to allow handlers freedom to drop in or miss classes and still make progress. Cost $30/class. Because class size is limited please call or email ahead to assure space is available.

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!"
