               Private Obedience Lessons         $35

These are 30-minute lessons which are ideal for one dog or two lower energy pups. Private lessons are a great way to have a fully customizable experience for you and your pup(s). Whether your schedule does not allow you to attend classes, your pup is not ready for a class environment, or you want to advance at a faster pace, private lessons are a great choice. Private lessons are held at our Bell Creek facility. Dogs do need to be current on vaccines. Bitches in season are allowed in dog panties.

​
                S.T.A.R. PUPPY         $165.00 

All puppies must be current on their shots to attend classes, with the first booster (the first is usually given by the breeder/shelter before they are sent home, so this is the second shot in this series) required before the start of classes.

In this six-week class puppies will be introduced to sits, downs, waits/stays, settle, recalls and loose leash walking in a way that is fun and will help cement what they are learning. In addition, we will cover potty training, chewing, give, and nail trims/grooming. Puppies will be allowed time at the end of each class to socialize with puppies of similar size and age to ensure they know how to properly interact with other dogs. This class is taught by a CGC elevator and at the end of class puppies will be evaluated per AKC STAR Puppy guidelines.

​
           ADVANCED PUPPY          $165.00

This is for young puppies to continue building on the foundation they learned in our S.T.A.R. puppy. We will work up on tightening/polishing up behaviors and adding harder distractions to make their puppy brains think! We will also continue to allow playtime the last 10-15 minutes of class based on size and temperament of pups.

This class is for puppies under one-year of age who have completed our S.T.A.R. Puppy classes.

                  Good Dog 101        $165.00
​

This six-week class is designed to lay the foundation for great teamwork and is open to any dog that can work in a class environment. Dogs will be introduced to sits, downs, waits/stays, settle, recalls and loose leash walking in a way that is fun and will help cement what they are learning. In addition, we will trouble shoot any potty-training issues and chewing issues as well as cover give/drop it, nail trims and other grooming. Unlike STAR PUPPY this class does not allow for socialization between dogs. This class will help lay the foundation to passing the AKC Canine Good Citizen test as well as the foundation skills to help get you started in agility, rally and/or formal obedience.
