Description

Class Experience

Your learner loves all things dogs? This is the class for them! In this FLEX class, we will cover dog training tips and rules, teach our dogs new tricks, learn to bake easy homemade dog treats, and play dog themed games. Most importantly, our goal is to have fun and bond with your dog! 

Your dog already knows some of these tricks? No problem! Each trick will either have an advanced/alternate version, or I will offer tips directly in the comments on what to do next. 

The exercises will be...

Students will bond with their dog through multiple exercises and trick learning. The exercises are also useful for day-to-day activities and making your dog more safe and responsive. Students will also learn how to bake homemade dog treats.

I train two miniature poodles in obedience, trick learning, recall training, and the sport of dog agility. Both my dogs compete in the sport of agility.

For maximum success, students should do 5 minutes sessions, multiple times a week, to practice the exercises learned in this class.

- A dog! Age doesn’t matter. A dog can always learn new things.
- Yummy treats! I typically use high-value treats like cheese, hot dogs, freeze-dried meats, cooked chicken, etc. 
- Their favorite toy(s) (optional)
- A leash (optional)
- A fun positive attitude! Dogs can sometimes be frustrating to work with. This makes success even more rewarding in the end!

Dog treat ingredients and materials:
- peanut butter (xylitol free)
- pure pumpkin puree
- flour (regular, wheat, or oat)
- vegetable oil
- eggs
- cheddar cheese
- water
- small cookie cutter
- pizza cutter
*they will be baked on cookie sheets in the oven

Students must post videos of their training progress (1-2 minutes each exercise) for review. I will review the videos and give feedback on how to proceed next in their training. Each student and dog will advance at different speeds and levels, and that is absolutely normal. Assessment is more so based on how the exercise is implemented and completed, than the actual results. Technique is key!

No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

An adult should be around during dog training to supervise. This keeps the student and the dog safe. Also, parental supervision is recommended for the baking parts of this class, especially when using the oven and sharp objects.
