Rally is to have fun with your dog and to produce dogs that have been trained to behave in the home, in public
places and in the presence of other dogs. This class is a 6 week course and meets on Wednesday - $50.00

Rally Application

Distemper MUST be provided at sign-up or your first class. Puppies need only proof of
vaccinations required for their age.

Dogs that have completed a Beginners obedience class can now take the next step in their training. More
advanced work will be completed, such as teaching your dog how to be a Canine Good Citizen, how to walk with
a loose leash through a crowd and hand signals, as well as an increase in the commands your dog will respond
to. This class is a 1-hour, 6 week course and meets on Thursday - $50.00

Intermediate Application

Now that your dog is mentally more mature, the lessons will be more formal. At the end of the 8-week session you
can expect your dog to walk at your side without pulling and to sit when you stop without a command from you.
Your dog will be able to stand quietly while being groomed, petted or at the vets office. The command to either
“Sit, Stay” or “Down Stay” to your dog will mean just that and your dog will “Come” when called. The success of
teaching your dog these basic manners depends on YOU! If you have 20 minutes a day for 8 weeks to devote to
training, you will have the lifetime of your dog to enjoy the benefits of PAWS THAT BEHAVE. This is a 1-hour
class lasting for 8 weeks. The fee is $100.00 and includes a training collar.
