Intermediate Dog Training
This dog training program takes the learning from puppy/beginner to the next level focusing on the 3 D’s (distance, duration and distraction). Your dog will be able to do cues for longer periods of time, with greater distractions and at greater lengths. We also focus on more advanced cues such as heel and finish. You will be partnered with another dog to complete the course’s “field trips” to local parks and pet friendly retail environments in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Dogs must be 8 months or older and have completed a puppy or beginner program to participate.
Privates: (3 sessions) $215
Advanced Dog Training
This dog training program prepares your dog to take the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen test which is what I like to call the PAWhd of the dog community. You will learn things such as sit politely for greetings, loose leash walking through a crowd and greeting another dog all without using treat rewards. As an evaluator, I am able to administer the test.
Group: 5 one hour sessions - $215
Tricks Dog Training
Have FUN with your dog with this tricks dog training class that teaches everything from “Wave”, “Weave”, “Sit Pretty”, and jumping through a hoop. This class is great for socialization. Must have completed a puppy/beginner dog training program.
Group: 3 one hour sessions - $110
Junior Dog Trainer
I believe it is very important to have the entire family involved in training their dog. That’s why I have a Dog Trainer Program for children ages 10 and under who participate in the dog training. Each child receives a Dog Trainer diploma and t-shirt.
