Basic & Puppy Classes: On leash class. We will use a flat buckle collar, and marker training.  Bring rewards to every class.  Rewards can be balls, favorite toys, or a high valued treat, and always love and affection.  Recommended treats are soft, moist and small, e.g. cut up hotdogs, cheese, chicken, etc.  Class will focus on the American Kennel Clubs standard for the S.T.A.R.S. Puppy Program and the Canine Good Citizen(CGC). Participants will be taught basic skills such as: Come, Sit, Down, Stay, Heel, Stand for examination, proper grooming tips as well as other valuable information.
