Closed

Practice real-life skills with your dog in this class, and then test your dog at the C.L.A.S.S. evaluation to earn a Bachelor’s degree. B.A. skills include wait at the door, come and leashing up manners, loose leash walking and attention, meet and greet (people), leave it, wait for the food bowl, stay, and settle. All exercises will be practiced in form of games and role plays. We’ll already include some exercises for the higher evaluation levels into this course. 6 dogs max for this class.

You and your dog can earn your Bachelor’s (B.A.), Master’s (MA.), or Doctorate (Ph.D.) by registering and participating in a C.L.A.S.S. evaluation. The evaluation will be offered separately from the course. Successfully completing each level is like earning an academic degree in real-life skills with your dog. We recommend this class after graduation from Grade School, or any higher behavior class levels.

Session Notes:
CLASS stands for Canine Life and Social Skills, a program by the APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers), which offers evaluations at different levels (BA, MA, PhD). We'll practice real-life skills for in-home and out in public, with the focus on fading the treats and increasing duration. We'll also work hard on not repeating the cues while still getting a good response and duration behavior from the dogs.

Skills include wait at the door, come and leashing up manners, loose leash walking and attention, meet and greet (people), leave it, wait for the food bowl, stay, and settle. All exercises will be practiced in form of games and role plays.

This is a fun class and recommended any time after Grade School. Evaluation offered separately on demand.
