Group training classes
| All the group obedience classes are based around pet puppy , socialization classes. In these classes our main goal is to give the new owners well understood easy to follow rules and guide lines. I like to train in small groups, which gives the customer more one on one time and yet a level of distraction of being in a class. We work on the basic obedience commands and teach you how to read your dog. Dogs give us behaviors all day long, and most owners aren't reading them. Dogs are also problem solvers they learn by trail and error. In understanding this we have to allow the dog to be wrong so it can learn to be right. My basic training classes do use food as a motivator, but not a bribe as we discuss in class. We use positive games along with food and toys to encourage training and attention.. But all dogs have to learn correction. We all have to deal with stress in life so does the dogs. We want your dog to become problem solvers. Basic training classes are 6wks long with all family members encouraged to attend. Classes start in Febuary and running through November. |
Private classes

| Dogs that are in competition are best suited for private or semi -private classes. Dogs who go into competition need individual attention. Each dog and each level of training has its own rules and expectations. These classes include:

Some guide lines in dog training:

My obedience history began as a 4-Her,and it didn't take long and I started working for kennels and
handlers. This opened the door of the canine world for me. I started giving classes when I was 15 in
my parents horse riding arena. Going to seminars and taking private classes continued through most
of my 20's.
The breeds of dogs I've owned are many, once the neighborhood knows you have a knack for
training you wouldn't believe what you'll find at your doorstep. Each breed teaching you something
new. And that really is the reward of training dogs, it isn't what I teach them, the reward is what their
teaching me.
My number one goal when teaching a new student Is to enjoy your time training. We get all bend out
of shape because the puppy's into everything and he won't listen. What I try to teach you is how the
dog thinks during different stages in the dogs development. That answers a lot of the behavior issues
you will face. Now if you take the time to properly train and have adequate exercise and proper
nutrition you find Fido to be a great companion and life long friend.
I continue to train for the 4-H dog program for more than 20 yrs. I also continue to be a junior fair
judge.
I have won numerous titles in obedience, agility, breed, and field. As well as national ranking in
obedience. I won 3 times the German shorthair of Wis. Obedience dog of the year. Also many
honorary awards with the Winnegamie Dog club.

Training and field work
| We also provide monthly training services. Where we train the dog daily and the owner comes weekly for lessons. This services work great for people that are disabled or out of town frequently. We also start gun dogs the same way. We stress the importance of continuing training when the dog goes home. |
