Distraction Class

Prerequisite: Intermediate class and/or CGC title

6 weeks * Class sessions: one hour * Class Fee: $150 (for entire course)

This class is designed for anyone that wants to improve their dog’s focus on you and the job, no matter what the distraction. The class is for anyone that is getting ready to or already competing in off-leash dog sports and wants a dog that can work through any distraction and stay focused on the task at hand. Dogs in this class should show no aggression to other dogs or people, must already have a solid 30 second sit stay and 30 second down stay and preferably a stand stay. Dogs should be able to walk on a loose leash. We will build on behaviors learned in both beginners and intermediate classes and add some additional behaviors as well. We will build to off-leash work in the class. The class will be adjusted to fit the needs of class participants and the goals they have for their dogs.

If there is no class listed, registration is not currently open for the next session (or we are not offering this particular class for that session).

For the first session
– Please arrive 15 minutes early
– Bring your dog on a leash and buckle collar, slip, or prong collar (no retractable ‘flexi’ leads or chain leads; any collar, with exception of e-collar, is allowed)
– Bring soft treats (more than you think you’ll need!)
– Bring copies of current vaccinations and rabies certificate (if you haven’t emailed)

Next Classes. We do not do waiting lists; when there is an available class, the registration link for it will be open. We typically have a new session of all classes start about every 8 weeks (sometimes longer), with the registration open a month in advance.
