Beginner Classes: For dogs who are four months of age or older. Your dog is never too old to learn. Teaches you to teach your dog the basic obedience behaviors of sit, down, walk on a leash and come when called. (8 weeks)
Practice 1: Continues from the Beginner's Class and concentrates on more precise obedience work such as attention exercises, loose leash walking, sit and down stays.
Practice 2: For those dogs that have successfully completed the pre-novice level exercises. Further training and practice is provided to prepare the dogs and handlers for competition in fun matches and/or trials at the Novice level.
Trials Practice: In Trial Novice class we prepare the student for trial by working on the specific exercises of the novice class plus important attention exercises. Precision, endurance and common distractions are stressed during this training while at the same time having fun with the dog.
Open: In this class learn the skills to compete at the Open level. Skills include retrieving, drop on recall, and jumping over a broad jump and retrieving over a solid jump. Most work done off leash. Long sits and downs work up to being "out of sight".
Open Trial: Exercises include retrieving, jumping and stationary exercises performed with the handler out of sight.
Utility: The ultimate level in obedience training, includes independent work by the dog in locating scented items, and obeying hand signals from its handler.
Rally Obedience: This new sport is intended to promote positive relationships between dogs and owners based on trust and respect. Rally encourages participation of ALL dogs, purebred or mixed breed, pets or titled champions as well as physically challenged dogs and or handlers.
ATTITUDE is more important in RALLY than precision. Dogs and handlers "just gotta have fun".
