Owner Training

Beginning Obedience (At Home): This 8 week intensive program is designed for those owners who have the time and patience necessary to train their own dogs and also like hard work. Owners attend a 30-minute mid-week lesson and attend a 1-2 hour group class on Saturday's at the Kennel each week for 8 weeks. Owners must also spend 1-2 hours every day training their dog at home in order for this program to be successful.

Owners with reasonably intelligent dogs who follow the plan and put in the time required working at home should reach an intermediate level of control with this program. Owners who aspire to reach an advanced off-leash training level can go into the advanced training program.

Cost: $395

Advanced Off-Leash (At Home): Owners who wish to participate in this program must demonstrate the physical stamina and conditioning required, and if necessary obtain a physician's release prior to starting. This program is physically demanding and requires a lot of work. We don't need any heart attacks. Before entering the advanced program dogs must demonstrate their ability to handle this level of training. We will not accept any dog into the advanced program unless we feel he/she has mastered the basic training and has the maturity and intelligence necessary to handle advanced training.

Owners attend 2 one hour lesson weekly for 9 weeks. Owners must also spend a considerable amount of time daily on their own.
