Introduction to Nose Work • 3-3:45pm
This course offers a fun and engaging introduction to the world of canine nose work, a scent detection sport that allows your dog to use its natural scenting abilities to find
hidden odors. In this class we will introduce your dog to the art of “searching with purpose” as we introduce them to odor. Odor used in class can be human odor (your odor) or competition odor (UKC Essential oil birch). Class will be taught to recreational standards and is not a competition nose work class. All ages, no prerequisite classes.
Obedience & Manners • 4-4:45pm
This class focuses on the application of basic obedience cues to everyday manners. In this class, your dog will learn to settle on cue, impulse control, basic leash walking, and a reliable recall. Class is positive reinforcement, force free training, and is primarily a food-based reward program. The trainer recommends using a harness or no slip martingale collar and a standard 6 feet leash.
Introduction to Canine Parkour • 5-F:45pm
Canine Parkour, where your dog can unleash their inner athlete and build confidence and resilience! In this exciting and dynamic class, your dog will learn to navigate and conquer a variety of obstacles in a safe, controlled environment. Unlike agility, that needs specific equipment, canine parkour uses the environment around you. As I like
to say, “the world is your playground.” Canine parkour encourages dogs to use their bodies in creative ways, jumping, climbing, balancing, and crawling through different structures. This class covers the novice skills for the International Canine Parkour Association Novice Title. All ages, no prerequisite classes.
