NEW!
We
are pleased to announce our new dog training session
of "Walkabout
Dog Obedience Class: Urban Obedience on the Move." This
unique approach to dog obedience training recognizes
that most behavior problems don't come up in a sterile
class setting inside a building or in a ring. You need
your dog to behave when you are out in public with
distractions and temptations. Our new "Walkabout" dog
training class will be held in various locations throughout
Lodi,
from downtown cafés to parks to bus and train
stations.
Teach your dog or puppy Come, Sit, Down, Stay, Wait,
and easy No-pull Leash Walking in public while enjoying
the company of other dog training friends.
Class is six
weeks in length with a talk and demonstration for the first class, which will
be held at Victor Park in Acampo (Victor Rd at Bruella Rd.) Do not bring
your dog to the first class. Do bring proof of parvo and distemper vaccinations.
This dog training class is best for puppies and dogs over four months old.
Class size is limited to ten dogs. We will also offer equipment and advice
on where to get what you need to have a really productive enjoyable session. Click
here for the equipment you'll
need.
Text for the class will be "Beginning Family Dog Training" by
Patricia McConnell
Locations for classes will
be given out at the first session."
Final Exam" will consist of an AKC Canine Good Citizen Test (see below).
Classes are $125 and include the official test forms.
Give yourself a trained dog for
Christmas (or several weeks before).

Our
training prepares students for the AKC Canine
Good Citizen test.
In
addition to being a good way to show off your well
behaved dog, this certificate is often viewed favorably
by insurance companies when it comes to covering
our dogs. There is no minimum age requirement for
the test, and any breed or mixed breed may participate.
As
a certified CGC Evaluator, Julia can
test and certify your dog on completion of training.

Dear
Julia:
Due to your services our dogs have structure and
discipline in their lives which gives them such a
happier existence (not to mention ours!) On their
twice daily park trips we can trust them to be off leash and
follow our commands. The final dream come true was our recent trip to
Carmel with them for the night. Their obedience for two days through
may obstacles ( numerous dogs new surroundings, long road trip,
overnight stay, restaurants, the ocean, etc. etc.) just proved the what
an amazing job you did in training our Aussies.."
Sincere gratitude,
Michael Varni and Jenny Preszler, Lodi, CA |
