Professional Dog Training

Rebekah has a background training assistance dogs, teaching assistance dog puppyraiser classes, teaching classes for 4-Hers and the general public, and helping people solve common "pet" problems.

We offer a variety of options to suit your individual needs. Four-week classes are offered almost every month and are kept small to allow participants to work toward their specific goals. Private lessons with Rebekah are also available in thirty minute or one hour sessions.

Classes

Basic Obedience - The perfect starting place for any dog or puppy. In addition to covering good manners and basic behaviors, such as sit, down, come, walking on a loose leash, etc., you will also learn how to prevent common problems around the house. Even if your dog knows the basics, this is a great class to take to work on focus.

Click-a-Trick - Discover endless possibilities by learning a whole new way to communicate with your dog. You will be amazed at how quickly your dog picks up new things with clicker training. We will work on basic tricks first, but we will also be able to help with tricks of your choosing - from very basic to very advanced. This will be a FUN, FUN class!! Great for puppies as well as dogs, in fact, once you complete this class, you will be able to use this method of training on horses, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and anything else you can think of! Click-a-Trick classes will be smaller, with a maximum of four students.

No classes scheduled. Contact Rebekah if you're interested in getting one set up!

Agility Primer - Agility is an exciting dog sport where you and your dog work as a team to complete a course of tunnels, jumps, contact obstacles, hoops, and weave poles. This class will provide you and your dog a good foundation. If your dog has energy to burn, this is the class for you! Agility is a lot of fun for both dogs and people.
