Conformation Classes: Showing your own dog? Learn and understand the basics. Our Conformation classes prepare both the handler and dog to compete successfully in the show ring at licensed dog shows. Handling is a process of trial and error and a lot of practice!  A conformation class will allow you to work on proper stacking, gaiting and presentation of your dog in the show ring. Our Conformation Classes are available to dogs of all ages, puppy through adult, as well as the junior handler who is interested in exhibiting their own dog in the breed ring as well as in Junior Showmanship competition.

Canine Good Citizen (CGC) CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. Your dog does not have to be purebred or AKC registered to qualify for the AKC CGC Certificate. CGC training will enhance the bond between you and your dog. Dogs who have a solid obedience education are a joy to live with-they respond well to household routines, have good manners in the presence of people and other dogs, and they fully enjoy the company of the owner who took the time to provide training, intellectual stimulation, and a high quality life. Items on the Canine Good Citizen Test. Homeowners Insurance Available to Breeds Previously Excluded with CGC Certification

 

Rally-Obedience The latest craze in dog obedience, a dog and handler team run through a "Rally-O" course made up of between ten and twenty different "stations". Signs posted at each station indicate what the team is required to do - the signs will instruct teams to go fast or slow, to halt (dog must sit at heel), to make turns and circles, to reverse direction, to do a sit-stay-recall, or other basic obedience exercises. Rally is a great way to have a different adventure with your dog each and every time, since each Rally course will be unique and exciting! Novice, Advance, and Excellent level Classes will be offered throughout the year. Novice: For the very beginner. The person just starting out in Rally Obedience. Recommended that your dog knows the basic obedience commands such as Sit, Down, Heel, Come.  Supplies needed for class include: - 4 or 6 ft leash (leather strongly encouraged) - Treats - Kennel (to keep dog in so you can walk the courses)
