Does Your Dog Have C.L.A.S.S.?
A new training evaluation for pet dog owners developed by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, C.L.A.S.S. is similar to the Canine Good Citizen test, but with more true life skills. Your dog can earn a B.A., an M.A. or a PhD!
C.L.A.S.S. is about teaching and appreciating real-life, practical skills, such as walking nicely on a leash, settling down, meeting strangers, table manners, attention, and coming when called, just to name a few. C.L.A.S.S. provides dog/student teams the opportunity to have their skills evaluated by a professional dog trainer.
Passing a C.L.A.S.S. Evaluation is a testimony to the life skills that a student and their dog have developed together. Moreover, by using those skills in everyday situations, a dog can become a well-behaved member of your household and a welcome part of society.
This class is conducted with a rolling enrollment. It is $100.00 for six weeks, but they do not have to be consecutive weeks. Evaluations will be scheduled as needed.
