This small group session will allow you to work with your dog one on one and develop better management of behaviors. Building your dogs confidence is key to establishing a well behaved dog. It's time to refocus your efforts and let us help you set the foundation for a great working relationship with your dog. Learn about body language of dogs, approaching a dog, leash rules and more.
This class is NOT for reactive dogs.
Private training- When your dog has behaviors that require one on one training, or to work without other dogs present, we offer private one on one training time. We will focus on behavior modification and reducing your dogs stress while learning. Call to schedule an evaluation for private training. An evaluation will give us a starting point to give you a path for training. Call 815-823-9279.
Get ready for CGC - Does your dog have what it takes to be a Canine Good Citizen? Let us help you find out in this class series that covers the requirements for the CGC Evaluation. When you complete the course, we can provide a testing date! Initial Evaluation is required prior to this course.
We offer several workshops based on requests from our clients - have something you are interested in? Feel free to message us on Facebook or email us some suggestions for classes you would like to attend in the future!
