A 6-week session for $150
This is probably one of the most exciting courses Alden’s Kennels offers for advanced owners and trainers. This class is for all dogs who have completed Alden’s Kennel’s Beginners Obedience Course and Intermediate Obedience Course, or for dogs that have completed something of equivalent difficulty to the Intermediate Obedience Course somewhere else.
This course will get all dogs and owners ready to compete at higher levels and get higher scores than they ever imagined. It’s also a great course for devoted pet owners who have no interest in formal competition but want to continue to increase their dog’s capabilities, retain their manners, and keep an active lifestyle. We hope that everyone takes interest in this class, because we are very excited to introduce this well-constructed course.
Are you and your pet ready? This is off-leash work. You must be able to do AKC Novice Pattern; group sit-stay, down-stay, and stand-stay; and come. In this next session, we work on retrieve, jumps, and send outs, with a down command at any time during exercise.
This is a 6-week class of one hour per session. Some video education is included. We give a discount on the $150 course price for those that have taken prior classes with us. We will be practicing the AKC Open Pattern.
We also have equipment for therapy dog training, and we will introduce your pet to wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches. If you are interested in more focused therapy dog training, you can also join our Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Therapy classes.
