Trick classes are held periodically and the tricks taught will change from class to class.

The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) class focuses on the specific skills that are required to pass the CGC test.

The Distractions and Self Control class is designed for dogs that have mastered Basic Obedience training, but become fearful or overly excited in the face of distractions such as other dogs or those in a typical trial environment.

Private lessons on any of these topics and more are also available.
