Have you always wanted to have Focused Attention heeling from your dog? Once you've taught your dog to heel this way, you'll never want anything less from your dog. If he is focusing on you, he won't be looking at the judge, the spectators, or fluffs of hair on the floor! This kind of attention and focus carries over into all of the other exercises that you'll be doing with your dog.
Have you been to obedience classes where you work on 'attention' for the first couple weeks, then by the third or forth week you're "heeling" all the way around the room with little or no emphasis on that all important FOCUS from your dog? Not in these classes!
In the Novice Classes we also start the dogs on the more advanced exercises needed for Open and Utility. The jumping, retrieving and more, make it so much more interesting for both you and your dog! Why not be ready for higher levels before competing in the early levels? You'll feel more confident. Plus, you are well on your way for the Open (CDX) Class before stepping into the Novice ring.
NOT INTERESTED IN COMPETING? These classes are still a great option for you and your dog!! Over the years many students have continued through the levels of the Competition classes while never setting foot in the ring. They enjoy working with their dogs and progressing into more advanced exercises while in the company of other dogs and handlers doing the same. It’s FUN for the dog! It’s FUN for the dog owner! Keeping your dog’s mind stimulated and his body active will enhance his quality of life. Students have continued for years in the classes with multiple dogs as new puppies are added into the family.
To be sure that each team receives the attention we feel they deserve, the class size is kept small for YOUR benefit. Once the class is full, registrations will close. Let us know now if you want to join.
