Puppy Socialization and Obedience Class

Spring Schedule: All classes currently run in six weeks cycles beginning at 7pm on the designated evenings and are $85.00 per six week enrollment. Proof of current vaccination status is required for all classes and will be collected on the first class if not provided before then. Please bring your puppy/dog on leash for our classes. As these classes are motivationally based we recommend that you do not feed dinner on class nights as food reward is used. Our classes are small so that we may provide everyone with the individual attention needed so preregistering is required.

Wednesday: Tricks class at Working K9 Services in Guilford Vt.

Adult Obedience and Socialization: For older dogs that may need a refresher course for manners and obedience or for those who are learning it for the first time.
Tricks Class I: A fun class for dogs that have completed basic obedience courses. Tunnel running, jumping through a hoop, shaking hands, rolling over, crawl, back up, bow, and sit pretty are among the tricks taught.

Tracking Class coming this spring! Beginning May 15th at 9am this class teaches the theory and mechanics of footstep tracking. This type of tracking is different than search and rescue. It is used for tracking titles, finding articles, and many other applications.

Temperament Class: This is a socialization class for those dogs who do not get along well with other dogs. The end goal is not a group of dogs playing together, like the pet socialization class, but to neutralize the dogs so that they are no longer bothered or respond aggressivley to the presence of other dogs. Also a pay as you go class for $20.00 a session it will meet at 2pm on the dates listed above in the tracking dog class.
