Typically between  week 3-6 we will introduce some of our enrichment equipment.  Enrichment is designed to expose pups to a variety of things such as new textures, sounds and movement that sometimes worry or scare dogs.  It will boost their confidence while burning lots of mental and physical energy.

Therapy Dog Prep Class  TBA

Age requirement: 1 yr+ , dog should have a intermediate level of obedience and should be comfortable working around other dogs.

This will be a 5 week Prep Class.  First class- Orientation ( no dogs )

Before getting started, you should know what we are looking for in a TDI Dog:

A Therapy Dog is born, not made. Yes, one can teach a dog mannerly behavior, but one cannot change a dog’s inherent temperament. When a dog is put under stress, poor or marginal temperament will surface.

Therefore: What are we looking for?

A Therapy Dog must have an outstanding temperament. This means that the dog should be outgoing and friendly to all people; men, women, and children. The dog should be tolerant of other dogs (of both genders) and non-aggressive toward other pets. Before you consider having your dog evaluated, you should ask yourself if your dog has these qualities.

****************************************************************************************

 Tricks Class-

This class is for dogs and owners that would like to enhance their relationship while having fun.  Tricks are a  great way to stimulate your dogs mind and entertain a crowd.

You can now earn your dogs – AKC Trick Dog Title.  Title testing will be held on last class.

 Rally

Think of an AKC Rally® event as any team sport: You and your dog navigate a course, side-by-side, as you steer him through a course of 10-20 different signs. Each of these signs provides instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. The dog and handler move continuously throughout the course with the dog under control at the handler’s left side. There is a clear sense of teamwork between the dog and handler both during and between the numbered signs. Although each performance is timed, having a good race time is not the goal; it’s all about working as a team while performing the skills, with the dog under control.

Started in 2005, AKC Rally is a fun family sport and participation increases each year. It’s a perfect starting point for those who are new to canine sports as AKC Rally provides a challenging introduction to all AKC Companion Events for dogs and handlers to strengthen their skills.
