Notes, Details, and Information
We are closed the entire Thanksgiving week
All introduction type classes; specialty or fun classes, will follow guidelines set by the
instructor.
All class advancement is by instructor permission
Obedience:
Puppy Kindergarten is for puppies who have not turned 5 months of age at the start of the
class session.
Young Dog class is for puppies 5 months – 1 year of age, or with instructor permission
Rally Classes:
Rally classes which are the first class on the schedule, walk throughs will be held 10
minutes before the published start time for the class. For Rally classes which follow
another class, walk throughs will begin at the posted start time for the class. If you do not
arrive on time, you may be asked to use your first run as your walk through, or else to run
the course without a walk through.
Nose Work:
Beginner Nose Work preference for dogs who have never taken nose work.
Intermediate Nose Work preference for dogs who took beginner level the last time oƯered
Mini Session: 4 Week Session in November to December
WE DO NOT PROMOTE TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF OBEDIENCE OR RALLY COMING INTO THE
MINI SESSION.
Canine Good Citizen (CGC) – This class gives you the opportunity to earn an AKC title with
your dog! We will be working on good manners – leash manners, manners around other
dogs and people, with distractions, etc. The specific requirements for the CGC title are
listed on the AKC web site. Generally, dogs who have taken at least one session of
Secondary are good candidates for this class, but Young Dog and Primary dogs and
handlers may enroll with instructor permission. NOTE: dogs do not have to be registered
with the AKC to take this class, but if you want your title added to your dog’s registration,
you must register the dog with the AKC. Mixed breeds may also be registered
Trick Dog – This class also allows you to earn a title (or possibly two or three titles!) with
your dog. We will oƯer testing for Trick Dog Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. Many dogs
earn more than one Trick Dog title by the end of the mini session. This class can be very
“busy”, with people working on diƯerent tricks and exercises all over the room, so dogs
need to have reasonable focus in that environment. The requirements for each level of Trick
Dog are also available on the AKC website. AS stated above for CGC, AKC registration and
fees are required for oƯicial AKC acknowledgement of Trick Dog titles
