Obedience: Obedience is essential for a safe
and happy dog. First, dogs need a leader (otherwise THEY
will be the leader). The leader must provide consistent
boundaries for the dog as a confused or nervous dog is
not a happy dog. Second, even simple commands like
"come" or "stay" may save your dogs' life some day. Most
importantly we strive to aid families in living a
harmonious life with their pets; a well trained dog is
the second step. A well trained human is the first step.

2010 Classes starting soon... check back for details!
Agility: Agility is
a great sport for you and your dog. This is a fun
obstacle course that requires the handler to navigate
with their dog. It promotes bonding and reaffirms
obedience training. We have customers that are
competitive in agility as well as those that attend
"just for fun".
Flyball:
Flyball is a team sport. Each team of dogs runs a relay
race over jumps, does a swimmers turn on a box and
returns over the jumps. As the dog makes their turn on
the box a ball is released. The dog must carry that ball
across the finish line. This is a timed event.
Dogs that
are eligible for flyball must be well socialized, have
solid obedience and be in good health.
Our flyball
team is called "Spoiled Sports". Being a member of our
team does require a commitment to travel several times a
year.
Tracking: We offer
an introduction to tracking. We can set courses for
beginners or advanced trackers.
Swimming: We have an
indoor pool that is utilized for rehabilitation for dogs
that have had surgery or sports injuries. We also allow
dogs to utilize the pool for fitness and fun with their
owners.
When weather
permits we offer practice dock diving and retrieval in
our 3 acre pond. |
