Weight Pull private only-call for pricing Prerequisite: Basic Obedience and dog must be at least 8 months to 1 year of age Northern breeds and draft dogs are bred with the desire and ability to pull. Also many classic “protection breeds” are not as apt to enjoy the dog sports involving high speeds and agile talents. We offer weight pull as a healthy alternative to put these musclebound guys and gals to work. This class will help you familiarize your dog to the necessary equipment and commands, while our experienced instructor helps to monitor your dog’s progress for safety. This class is offered bi-weekly, on a drop-in basis and is not limited to the breed classes listed above-bring out your little dogs and see how they like our small cart.

Therapy Dog preparation 6 weeks $175/student Prerequisite: Advanced Obedience, Canine Good Citizen Certification Therapy dogs are a wonderful encouragement to the elderly or infirmed.

Terrier Sports 8 weeks $250/student We will touch on Go To Ground in our above ground see-through tunnel, terrier racing, obstacle racing and scent tracking.

Scent Tracking 5 weeks $150/student Do you have a dog with its nose constantly on the ground? Then you have an excellent candidate for our scent tracking class. We begin by teaching the dog to focus on a specific scent, and then move on to how to follow that scent. As the dogs progress, we take our show on the road and develop scent trails in a variety of environments and with increasing levels of difficulty. We also can work with air-scenting if that is your preference. Air scenting is a common technique for dogs/handlers wishing to move into Search-and-Rescue work.
