Shaping 101/Tricks

This is a 6-week course for those handlers that would like dogs to learn to ‘Think Creatively’.  If you’ve previously trained your dog using a Lure/Reward method and you would like to move along to sports like agility, or maybe Canine Freestyle where thinking and creativity are necessary, you will find this class an eye opener.  You will be amazed with the level of learning that you and your dog can achieve.  We can train any behavior that our dogs are physically able to do without holding a ‘hotdog’ in front of their face.  We do use food and toy rewards, but not to ‘bribe’ the dog, we reinforce for the dog’s good choices!  This class is the first building block to higher learning and understanding.  Dogs need not know a myriad of behaviors, but should be able to give attention to the handler.

Cost is $120 for 6-weeks

Pre-requisite to this class is Orientation Class
