Obedience Classes

Our Classes are designed to educate you to train your pet to become a well rounded and balanced dog. Training is done in a group environment, which provides distractions and socialization. Our methods used are with body modification.


Puppy Socialization:

For Puppies 3 to 5 months old.

Introduction to new things at a young age is critical to a well rounded adult dog. In this class your puppy will learn how to interact with other dogs, people and unfamiliar objects. Basic commands are introduced and common puppy behaviors will also be addressed. A must for all puppies!

6 Week Class, Tuesday Nights - $125.00




Basic Obedience:

5 months and up.

Basic Obedience training is the first step in getting the dog you always dreamed of. Not only will this course teach your dog useful everyday commands, but it will help strengthen the bond between the two of you as well. Come join us in the fun and learn all the things your dog is capable of!

Advanced Basic Obedience:

This class is for dogs that have completed either the puppy or basic class and is designed to reinforce the lessons that were taught in those classes. It will give both the handler and dog the opportunity to test their basic skills in a number of different situations. Join this class and test your skills.

Canine Good Citizen:

The American Kennel Club started the Canine Good Citizen program in 1989 as a means of rewarding dogs who were well behaved at home and in the community. All dogs who pass the 10 step CGC Test receive a certificate from the AKC.

Rally:

Like to be serious and have fun all at the same time? Then this is the class for you. Rally is the newest competition class offered by the American Kennel club and combines obedience with a quick thinking course. Dogs must have strong obedience skill and owners must have a mind-set for a competition level course.

Teacup Agility:

Similar to regular agility, but the equipment is scaled down and the distances between obstacles is shorter to create challenges for the small dog that are similar to those faced by larger dogs on larger courses. Handlers are challenged to think fast on their feet to keep their dogs on the right path.


The goal of this class will be to introduce basic agility concepts, teach important handler movements, increase dog’s body awareness, and build confidence in both the dog and handler. This Intro course will start with foundation skills for agility and introduce each dog and handler team to the TDAA equipment. Prior training in basic obedience is recommended.


The first Teacup Agility trial was held in 2002 and the program continues to grow rapidly, especially in the Northeast. In fact, the 2008 TDAA Nationals will be held in Vermont this October 10, 11, and 12. For more information on TDAA (Teacup Dog Agility Association) visit www.k9tdaa.com

Off-Leash Obedience

Is your leash a crutch? Are you afraid to practice working with your dog off-leash because you may never see him again?


Join us for six weeks of practicing polite manners off-leash at Paw-zn-Around’s 22,000 sq. ft. fully fenced grass field arena. Your dog will really think he is free and you will learn to keep his attention, get lots of recall practice, and build a stronger relationship between you and your dog. Ironically, off-leash training can also help your dog to walk more politely on-leash.


Participating dogs should have some basic training in polite manners and must not be aggressive to other dogs or people. Please contact the instructor if you have questions as to whether or not your dog is ready for this class.
