Class Schedule

I am currently teaching four group classes. I charge $20/class ($15/students) and you pay only for the classes that you attend. I also have family rates if you are bringing more than one dog.

I offer two Life Skills/Adolescent classes. One is held Sunday evenings and the other is held on Monday evenings. To accommodate their busy schedules, students are permitted to switch between the two classes. Puppy class is open to puppies from two to five months old. Puppies must be in good health and current on all their vaccinations. Rally class is held on Monday evenings. I co-teach the Rally class with my long-time assistant, Lisa Voss.This class is open to dogs who already have basic obedience skills – heel, sit, down, stand.

All beginning (Life Skills/adolescent and puppy) classes focus on basic skills that dogs and handlers need to know to coexist peacefully and to interact with strangers or others while out in public, at the veterinarian or groomer, or when guests come into the home.

My primary goals are to teach owners how to read and understand dog behavior, and then give owners the skills to change behavior in a non-confrontational, simple manner. I teach lots of different lessons, but these two concepts are really the underlying goals.

If you would prefer more personal attention or if you have a dog who is not quite ready for group classes, please contact me for information on private consultations. I charge $75/hour for privates.
