All of our group classes are typically 3-8 dogs per class. This is so clients and their dogs can get individualized attention as needed. The Beginner Class is all dogs over the age of 5 months. The Puppy Class is for those 10 weeks to 5 months.

Puppy/ Beginner Training:

The beginner training session is for any puppy or older dog that has not had previous training. Here are just some of the tasks your dog will be able to perform by the end of the beginner class:

Look you in the eyes for 30 seconds or more when you ask him to give you his attention

Sit and Stay in the same place for 30 seconds or more

Lay Down and Stay for 30 seconds or more

Leave alone a treat that is put on his/her paw without taking it or back away from any temptation because you ask your dog to "Leave It"

Run to you when you call your dog to "Come"

Sit Nicely for Greeting People or Other Dogs.

Here are some of the behaviors we work to teach your dog not to do: Jumping up on people, Digging in the Yard, Taking your Things, Chewing up Items in your House, Nipping and Biting, Pulling on the Leash and Pottying in the House.

 

Intermediate/Advanced Training:

The intermediate training is for any puppy or older dog that has had previous training and can follow the commands taught in the beginning training class. Here are some of the commands your dog will learn in intermediate training:

"Go to Bed" (which asks your dog to go to a particular place you point to and lie down, not just his bed, or for bedtime.)

Heel with Left Turns and Right Turns (which asks your dog to follow right by your side, not walking ahead of you or behind you, looking up at you for direction)

"Wait at Doorways" (teach your dog to stay on the other side of a doorway until he has permission to come through. Helps stop your dog from running out the door into the street.

Sit/Stay with Distractions and Down/Stay with Distractions (your dog learns to stay with balls bouncing around him, toys being thrown, treats dropped, other dogs passing by etc.)

Come When Called with Distractions (your dog learns to come to you excitedly regardless of the distractions in his way, toys/treats/smells)

Stay While Out of View (your dog learns to stay even when he can't see you).

Stand Up from Lying Down position or Sitting position, and Stand/Stay.

Commands from a distance. Example: You can ask your dog to go to his bed regardless of where you are in the room. Instead of having to be right by his side.

Note: Class requirements include proof of vaccinations for Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza and Parvo (DHLP-P), and Rabies. Bordatella is recommended but not mandatory.

*Prices listed are based on locations in and around North Austin. Other locations may result in additional fees for travel.

Please provide your dog's name, age and breed as requested on the final PayPal payment page.  Thanks!.
