Our Dogs With Attitude class is for dogs who are reactive towards other dogs while on a leash. In this class, we teach how to cope with the stress of being around other dogs, management techniques for what to do when you see other dogs on walks, and a plan to work through it. The class starts in a low-stress way where your dog has limited to no visibility of the other dogs in the room and works to the point where they are comfortable in a room with other dogs. This class runs as a 7-week workshop.

Canine Good Citizen & Therapy Dog Prep Class
This six-week course prepares you and your dog for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluation and the skills needed for Therapy Dog certification.

The CGC evaluation, sanctioned by the American Kennel Club, demonstrates your dog’s training, manners, and ability to maintain focus in distracting situations. It's ideal for dogs who have completed basic obedience and is a key step toward Therapy Dog certification. Therapy Dogs can visit hospitals, nursing homes, and other settings to bring comfort to those in need.

Class Highlights:

• Practice all exercises for the CGC and Therapy Dog evaluations.
• The CGC test is included in the course fee and will be offered on week 6 of the program.
• Therapy Dog certification details, including evaluation requirements, documentation, and fees, will be provided during the course but testing is not done during the course.

Requirements:

• Dogs must have prior obedience training and experience in group settings.
• Dogs must be at least one year old for Therapy Dog.
• Dogs must be generally friendly towards people and unreactive towards other dogs.
