This is the ideal class to start training a household pet. For dogs 10 weeks andup without previous Companion Dogs group training. My puppy students become reliably housebroken and stop playful nipping problems in a few weeks. Nobody graduates nipping or peeing!

Learn Mad Dog, Restraining Order, Hokey Pokey, Puppy Prestidigitation, Run Away Owner, Room Service, Quaker Sits and more. Don't know what these exercises are? That's why people enjoy my classes... they're as effective as they are intriguing.

Class includes: Bean Bag, Correction Spray, Portable Pet Bed, Training Booklet.   

A ten foot leash is required for this class. You are welcome to purchase a leash anywhere. You may buy them at the first class for eight dollars. Ten foot leashes are difficult to find and the price at my class is well below any pet store price.

Group Class Q and A

Q. My people took me to a puppy class at a pet store. Can I skip your Puppy/Beginner and go right to Basic Companionship?
A. Oh you overachievers. A class taught in the middle of a distracting environment like a pet store taught by an instructor whose been alive fewer years than I've been training is not a comparable class. You'll learn more in my first hour than you did the whole pet store session.

Q. I don't know where I belong! I'm two years old and I've never been to group school. What class is best for an older girl like me?
A. Speaking as an older girl myself, you should come to the Puppy/Beginner. We can switch you if the class is not right for you.

Q. Sheesh. My people are already worried they will miss a class. Now what?
A. Tell your folks they can come to another location to make up the class. And, I schedule a 'just in case' make up class, in case we get rained or 'winded' out. You'll know when the 'just in case' class is, so you can plan your busy doggy life.

Q. Uh, I'm a little worried about that Guide Stick thing. Are you going to hit me with it?
A. Dogs aren't hit in my classes, but owners who don't practice and then blame the dog are in danger. the Guide Stick is to help you learn to walk on a loose leash so you make your people proud.
