Intro to basic agility- In this fun class, your furkid will learn about jumps and tunnels, weave poles and teeter totters!
The goal of this class is to give you and your best friend an outlet for physical and mental stimulation while having fun in a positive and relaxed environment. Agility work is excellent for active dogs, shy dogs and everyone in the middle.
The only requirement is that your dog is not aggressive on leash toward other dogs! Its a great way to bond with your pup and build their problem solving and direction receiving skills!
Play and Train is 4 nights and 5 days- in this program we balance play, enrichment, structure, exercise and training to help reset your furkid’s ability to learn.
We work on basic manners, good leash manners, impulse control and focus!
Included in the package is boarding at Dogs Bay Country Club award winning facility, enrichment activities to build confidence and work the brain, cuddles and hugs and community or one on one playtime with activities.
I started my quest to understand and help dogs and people over 30 years ago when I realized how many dogs ended up in shelters and rescue groups as a result of unwanted behaviors. I began working with these organizations to be proactive in dealing with behaviors as they developed and to offer owners outlets to learn new ways to teach wanted behaviors. I enrolled myself and my furkids in a variety of different training classes, and I became a student at the Animal Behavior Institute to better understand how animals learn. All of those years of hands on experience, mentorship programs, therapy dog training, service dog work and animal rescue work have shaped my training skills and style to offer positive and flexible training tools to my clients.
I have completed course work with The Dog Gurus, am an AKC Canine Good Citizen Test Evaluator, member of APDT and have been certified with West Michigan Therapy Dogs and Therapy Dogs Inc.
