Picture

This class is designed for children ages 7-13. Through positive reinforcement using food, toys and games we teach the child how to communicate with their dog. This builds a better relationship between the two. We believe children should be part of the rearing of the dog so they are a participating member of the pack. This helps to build respect between the two; the child figures out how to communicate with the dog and the dog figures out that he needs to listen and perform for the child too, not just the adults.

Parents are welcome to stay and observe during the class or they may also drop their child and dog off at our training facility for the one hour long class.

Prerequisites:
  • Proof of vaccines for the dog (Rabies, Distemper/Parvo and Bordetella)
  • the dog must be at least 4 months of age
  • participating children are between 7-14 years old
  • up to two children may accompany each dog
  • dog must be people and other dog friendly
  • equipment used will be a flat collar and a 6 foot leash
  • child must be able to handle the dog on the leash in a safe manner (if the dog is a bit rambunctious and unruly on the leash a private session or 2 with Shaylee may be appropriate before beginning class!)

A seven week course for $75. The first class is an Orientation where the children are taught what to expect from class, what their responsibilities will be, what to bring to class and an overview of what they will be teaching their dogs. Children are also encouraged to tell everyone a little something about their dog and to bring a picture of their dog to show everyone else participating. Through the rest of the course the children will be teaching down, stay, leave it, drop it, watch me,come when called, and loose leash walking. Games will be used in class to enhance the learning experience and make it fun for child and dog alike.

The next Kiddos and K9's classes,  will begin Saturday July 8th from 1-2 pm.
