Beginning Classes Puppy Kindergarten, Introduction to Reward-Based Dog Training, Dog Training for Kids and Tracking PUPPY KINDERGARTEN We strongly recommend puppy kindergarten class for puppies because this class will allow your puppy meet and interact with a variety of other people and dogs, explore a variety of equipment and begin basic obedience. We also discuss topics like housetraining (see Health & Training Tips), nipping and how to get your puppy to settle down when excited. INTRODUCTION TO REWARD BASED DOG TRAINING DOG TRAINING FOR KIDS The first session of this 5 week class is devoted to being safe around dogs (no dogs attend this class). The middle three sections include training basic obedience skills using hand signals, learning some tricks and introducing the dogs to some equipment. The last session includes a recital and a “how to play safely with dogs” demonstration. TRACKING This class teaches dogs to follow a scent usually laid down by a human. At the beginning of the track, you let the dogs smell an item touched by the human they will be tracking. The dogs then follow the scent trail and give you a signal when they find an article (cloth, metal, leather and plastic) that has been touched by the human who laid the track. You learn to read your dog so that you can encourage them to continue following the given scent instead of deciding that following a squirrel's track might be more fun. In beginning teams, the humans know where the track is, as you gain experience the humans do not know where the track is and so must learn to read and trust their dogs! Rates
