Ready to have fun, build confidence, and show off your dog's personality? Trick Dog Novice is one of our favorite classes because it combines learning, teamwork, and plenty of laughs along the way. Whether your goal is to earn an AKC title, strengthen your relationship with your dog, or simply try something new, this class is a fantastic way to engage your dog's mind and body.

In this 5-week course, teams will learn a variety of tricks and skills including touch, paws up, push-ups, getting in a box, platform work, balance beam, kennel up, jumping, tunnels, spins, and crawling. Each skill is broken down into easy-to-follow steps so dogs of all sizes and personalities can be successful.

This class is designed for dogs who have already completed Puppy Kindergarten or Beginner Obedience. A foundation of basic training allows us to focus on teaching new behaviors, improving communication, and building enthusiasm for learning.

The fifth week of class is dedicated to AKC Novice Trick Dog evaluations. Dogs who successfully complete the required tricks will earn their Novice Trick Dog ribbon, which is included with the course.

Best of all, Trick Dog Novice is about having fun together. You'll be amazed at what your dog can learn and how much confidence they gain as they master new challenges. Start your own traveling canine circus and discover just how talented your dog can be!

Two Beginner Obedience classes, one big graduation celebration 🎓🐾

Congratulations to Pearl, Don and Otis, Mary and W***y, Sue and Molly, and Kalley and Ozzy!

These groups brought a great mix of personalities, goals, and challenges to class, and it was fun watching each team grow over the course of the program. Beginner Obedience is where dogs and handlers really start learning how to work together—not just in class, but in everyday life.

From leash manners and engagement to impulse control and learning how to focus around distractions, these teams put in a lot of consistent work. And while progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line, every team here kept showing up and building on the foundation week after week.

That’s what creates lasting results.

We’re proud of the work these teams put in and excited to see where their training journeys go next. Keep practicing, keep communicating, and keep having fun with your dogs along the way 👏

Puppy Kindergarten is hands-down our FAVORITE class to teach. 😂🐾

There’s just something hilarious and heartwarming about watching a bunch of baby puppies figure out the world together — climbing on strange objects, investigating new surfaces, waddling through tunnels, and building confidence one tiny adventure at a time. Every class is chaos, comedy, and learning all rolled into one.

This week’s puppies got to explore our stimulus environment during Week 5, and they absolutely crushed it! Experiences like this help puppies learn how to think through new situations, recover from surprises, and grow into confident adult dogs.

If you’ve got a new puppy at home, now is the perfect time to join us!

Our Tuesday Beginner Obedience class originally scheduled to begin May 19th at 5:00 p.m. has been postponed and will now begin on Tuesday, June 2nd at 5:00 p.m.

We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and patience with the schedule change!

The good news? This gives anyone who has been thinking about joining a little extra time to get signed up. 👀

Beginner Obedience is one of our favorite classes because it focuses on building practical life skills, clearer communication, confidence, and a stronger relationship between dogs and their people. Whether you have a young dog getting started or an older dog needing some structure and consistency, this class is a fantastic foundation.

We are excited to get this group started in June and cannot wait to work with everyone!

READY TO TAKE YOUR RALLY SKILLS TO THE NEXT LEVEL? 🐾

Our Intermediate/Advanced Rally class meets Wednesdays from 6:00–7:00 p.m. and is designed for teams looking to continue growing their precision, communication, and confidence in the sport.

This class is all about fine-tuning the details:
✨ Cleaner handling
✨ Stronger engagement
✨ More polished performance
✨ Improved teamwork and flow through courses
✨ Building consistency around distractions

One of the things I love most about Rally is that there is always something to improve on. It keeps both dogs and handlers thinking, learning, and growing together. Whether you are actively competing, preparing to trial, or simply love having something challenging and rewarding to work on with your dog, this class gives you the opportunity to keep building those skills in a supportive environment.

We work through more advanced signs, sequencing, course work, and problem-solving while still focusing on creating dogs that are thoughtful, engaged, and enjoyable to work with both in and out of the ring.

If you’re looking for a place to practice, challenge yourself, and continue developing as a team, we’d love to have you join us.
