Advance Learning/Tricks Group Class
6 consecutive weeks     $150
* Pre-requisite for class is level 1 obedience. This class focuses on advanced learning techniques, buliding a reward system and foundation for object retrieval

The Advanced Learning/Tricks class is a great class for all types/ages of dogs.  Talk about a fun class for any dog!  This class teaches the owner how dogs learn.  We will build a reward system and teach owners how to reward in a timely manner and how to break behaviors down so they can be built properly.  This class also focuses on building behaviors thru markers and the differences between a lured behavior and shaped behavior.   A formal retrieve (not a play retrieve like fetch a ball) is also started in this class.  The dogs learn to retrieve such items as the remote control, a cell phone, a pair of shoes etc.  A group obedience class is advised before starting this class.
