Clinics and Workshops

Want to take a deeper dive into a training topic you’ve learned in group classes or private lessons? Or just have some fun while learning about or sampling a new dog sport? Check out our short, topics focused workshops and clinics.

Loose Leash Walking Clinic $79

Teaching your dog to walk nicely on leash can be one of the most challenging and frustrating parts of training.  But we’ve put together a variety of techniques to help you and your dog master the sought-after LOOSE LEASH WALK! Join us for the Leash Manners Workshop!   

During this 90 minute workshop, you will learn how to: handle the leash for best control and comfort;  condition your dog to immediately put slack in a tight leash; build handler focus so your dog pays attention to YOU and where YOU want to go; impulse control exercises to help your dog learn to reel-it-in instead of dragging you to a distraction;  and other tips and tricks to help your dog learn how to behave on leash. 

WHAT TO BRING: 

Equipment: This workshop will teach techniques that don’t involve pain or force in teaching your dog.  We will talk about appropriate equipment, however, bring your dog in the collar or harness you typically walk in. 

Leashes should be 6 feet for best results, and ABSOLUTELY NO FLEXI-LEADS.

Food: Bring at least 2 sandwich baggies full of SOFT, yummy treats for your dog (think cheese, hotdogs, boiled chicken, free dried meets/treats like Stella & Chewy brand), etc. If you do not bring appropriate treats, you will be audit-only.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: This workshop is NOT for reactivity or aggression.  Dogs must be friendly with other dogs and people, and not lunge/bark.   If they want to pull towards other dogs or people to say hi, that’s what we’re here for and will be working on! But no aggression or reactivity. 

Tricks Workshop $99

This is our popular Tricks class rolled into a 2-hour workshop; get all the tricks in half the time! 

Get a crash course in how to teach some of the most popular tricks! We’ll start with some warmups including Get On Platform, Shake Paw, Spin, and Touch, and move onto more complicated tricks like Crawl, Sit Pretty/Beg, Hoop Jump, Roll Over, Leg Weave, Target, and Take A Bow. Time permitting, we’ll do some Student Choice requests!

 

To register for this class, your dog MUST have completed a Basic Obedience/Training class and know a reward marker, sit, down, stay, and be friendly with dogs and people. 

Bring at least two sandwich baggies full of soft, HIGH VALUE treats (like cheese, hot dogs, chicken, steak, etc.) and your dog on a flat or martingale collar, or harness, and on a leash (6 foot is best) – NO FLEXIS!!!

Nose Work Clinic $99

This 2-hour clinic introduces you to nose work, a fun and engaging dog sport where your dog uses their natural scenting abilities. You’ll learn how to get started with your dog, including basics of scent training, effective learning techniques, and tips for creating a rewarding experience. We’ll cover how dogs learn, what to do and avoid in training, and how to make your dog proficient in identifying specific odors.

Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Workshop $99

This 2-hour workshop is designed to prepare you and your dog for success on the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) exam. We’ll review all 10 test items, including polite greetings, walking nicely on leash, and staying calm around distractions. Through guided practice, tips, and hands-on support, you’ll build the skills and confidence needed to pass the test and strengthen your bond with your dog. Prerequisite is completion of the Confident Canines Class or equivalent.
