Companion Dog Training: These classes are designed to help you teach your dogs or puppies the behaviors, skills and manners they need to become good companions. You will learn and practice training techniques based on positive reinforcement such as marking behavior, verbal praise, and food rewards.

You will develop the knowledge, skills and techniques necessary to enter and show your dog. These include ring procedure, handling and knowledge of the required exercises.

AKC Competition Conformation Training: This workshop provides the opportunity to practice showing your purebred dog in Conformation. Skills include learning how to gait your dog in a show ring, how to prepare for a judge’s examination and how to present the optimal picture to a conformation judge.
