Puppy Social Hour
It’s back! An hour of playtime for puppies and very tolerant young adult dogs supervised by a behavioral expert. Shannon will watch and help you interpret your puppy’s body language to ensure they develop proper communication and confidence. Must be on track with vaccines and have a minimum of 2 DHPP shots so far, no minimum age requirement.
$25 Drop In- Dates Announced on FB
$40 Privates
Our regular 45 minute private lessons. These can be over any topic you want to cover, and we can provide a distraction dog if you let us know in advance you’d like one. This is for anything you can come up with- basic obedience, formal competitive obedience, rally, nosework, fetch, tricks, frisbee, confidence building, grooming lessons for biters, counter surfing, and more.
Minor aggression and reactivity issues are still welcome for shorter sessions of problem solving- when in doubt start here.
STAR Puppy
This course is a hybrid of American Kennel Club’s guidelines and our classic Manners 101 class. Only for puppies under 12 months who have had at least 2 sets of DHPP and are on track with vaccines. This is a 6 week course that includes testing for the STAR Puppy Certificate and a supervised play time each week! Total cost due week 1 $165.
Typically offered with an evening option and a daytime option on weekdays.
Canine Good Citizen/Novice Tricks
We’ve combined AKC’s CGC criteria with Novice Tricks for more fun each week! The Canine Good Citizen tests on everyday skills any dog should perfect- like walking in crowds, passing a friendly dog, being able to be groomed by a stranger, come when called, and more. Training tricks is a good way to expand your dog’s mind and build work ethic. This 6 week course tests for both CGC and TKN certificates at the end. Total cost is $180.
Crash Course in Fun
Join Gabby for a class in all things fun. Each week we’ll do a little nosework along with a special topic like agility foundations, fetching, frisbee, rally, or tricks. This is a wonderful class to improve your relationship with your dog, no matter what stage you’re in. You’ll bond and build work ethic with a dog who is intense and usually a challenge. Senior dogs can find new low impact ways to meet their enrichment needs and get out of the house. Anxious dogs build confidence and learn to come out of their shells in public. There’s something for everyone.
5 weeks, $130 one time fee is due week 1.
Manners 101
Our most popular obedience class that covers the basics - leash walking, come when called, sit and down stays, door manners, go to place, and self control around food and other dogs. 5 weeks (one hour each week- same time, same place) for a one time fee of $130 due by the first week of class. Our price is per dog, so whole families of humans are welcome.
Free retakes! If you have a dog who has already attended a 101 class with us, you can retake it at any time for the lifetime of your dog for more practice in any 101 group that has open spots.
We offer typically an evening and a daytime each week on weekdays - contact for next start date!
Manners 102
Popular follow up class for our Manners 101 that travels around town to work on proofing the skills you’ve already learned in more distracting environments. This 4 week course usually meets in Cornelia at dog friendly places like Tractor Supply, Lowes, or Cornelia Park for one hour per week. One time fee of $120 due by week 1. This course is for older puppies and adult dogs who have received all their vaccinations and have some trained skills already that they want to practice around higher distraction levels.
Manners 103
Join us for the first ever Manners 103 outdoor proofing class!
We will be working with long lines towards reliable off leash obedience skills. Classes will be held at the park in Cornelia where there is no shortage of squirrels, kids, and other dogs to test our focus. We will only go truly off leash in a fully fenced area- most of our training work will be done with a long line which is included in the price for class.
This class will run for 90 minutes each week for 4 weeks- total cost including long line and treats is $180.
Extended Foundation Training
We offer home environment training for dogs who need a little extra consistency to build a foundation. Our board and train is fully customizable and very rarely recommends aversive tools. This means unlike most standardized programs, we can focus on what your dogs needs most- this could be manners, confidence building, reducing anxiety, correcting reactivity. Dogs get playtime and basic care included any time they stay and roughly an hour of training per day.
2 week jump start: $1650 includes 14 days of training, exit bath, nail trim, a training leash, video progress during their stay, an exit lesson, and entry into any of our group classes with that dog for 2 years!
A la carte: $95 per day
Student Pricing: $65 per day for dogs who have stayed a total of 14 days in the past or already attend regular group classes- they receive maintenance training daily to keep progressing
Pricing continues to go down the more your dogs stay with us! We have regular boarding clients staying for as low as $40 per night who no longer require training during their stay. This is one way we help support you throughout your dog’s lifetime.
Your dog will receive training in my home as well as some training out in public based on their needs. They can play in a fully fenced area with my dogs who match them well in personality (I have 5 to choose from). I have 4 acres and a creek for walking. All dogs will be crated in my air conditioned/heated/monitored kennel building which is adjacent to my living room for sleeping and when they cannot be supervised. They are allowed chewies, bedding, and comfort items from home. They must bring food and any medications for their stay. I also have 3 kids under 6 and 4 cats, so I cannot take aggressive dogs at this time. School Holidays fill up fast, and we have limited slots to ensure plenty of attention for all.
