Group Classes
Mindful Mutts currently offers the follow group classes.
Basics 1: Learn heeling, sit, down, stay, no/leave it and come when called. All exercises are performed on lead. This class is ideal for all dogs from 6 months old to seniors. Six sessions, approximately 1 hour per session: $90
Basics 2: Revisit Basics 1 commands, adding distance and distractions. Participants must have completed Basics 1 (or the equivalent, as determined by the instructor). Six sessions, approximately 1 hour per session: $90
Intermediate: Once again we revisit all commands learnt in Basics 1 and 2, but add Stand and Touch commands. We also increase distance and length of stays. We begin off lead exercises in the secure fenced training yard, including stop from motion exercise (i.e. down on heel and ‘go out’ commands). Some training takes place in more distracting environments, such as a neighborhood park, depending on the skill levels of dogs and handlers. Participants must have completed Basics 1 and 2 (or the equivalent, as determined by the instructor). Six sessions, approximately 1-1.5 hours per session: $100
Advanced: Perform all exercise off lead, under distractions and at a distance. Begin more advanced stop from motion commands (i.e. down/sit/stand on recall, ‘go out’ and down/sit/stand commands). Training is generally moved entirely to a more distracting environment at this level (a park or shopping center). Participants must have completed prior training classes unless they have approval from the instructor. Six sessions, approximately 1-1.5 hours per session: $100
Puppy Kindergarten: For puppies up to 6 months of age. We begin basic obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, name recognition, etc., using training methods geared specifically towards young puppies. We also have time for socialization and puppy play time in each class. Six sessions, approximately 1 hour per session (including puppy play time/socialization time): $90
Tricks for Treats: Great class for owners who want to do more training but are looking for something other than obedience skills. Teach your dog to Shake, roll over, play dead, or anything else you might like to try. We also teach basic agility, including jumps, tunnels, A-frame and Dogwalk. Participants must be at least 6 months old and have completed Puppy Kindergarten or Basics 1 (or equivalent as determined by the instructor). Six sessions, approximately 1 hour per session: $100.
