Enrichment Classes

Dogs learn better when they are having fun!

Intro to K9 Nosework

Class Schedule: Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:00pm-7:00pm and Fridays 11:00am-12:00pm

Your dog will learn to use his natural scenting abilities to find hidden treats or objects and lead you to them. You won’t believe how fun it is to watch your dog’s light bulb come on in this low-impact sport designed for high-level mental stimulation.

Intro to Odor

More fun with your dog’s sniffer! This course will introduce your dog to one of the key Nosework scents used in competition—birch—while you build your ability to read your dog to help her refine her searching. We’ll begin to increase search difficulty, possibly even moving to outdoor and car searches as teams are ready

Continuing Nose-work 1 & 2

We’ll tackle more difficult searches while your dog works two new scents- anise and clove—and you build your handling skills to assist his success. We’ll also introduce the skills needed to compete in this sport.

Life Skills Workshop: Practical Canine Care

Does your dog get nervous about nail trims, grooming, teeth cleaning and ear cleaning? Come learn how to teach your dog to be calm and comfortable during these procedures. Turn grooming into a fun training opportunity instead of a dreaded task.

Canine Cross-Training

Going for a jog with your dog is a walk in the park compared to the workout we have in store for you! While your dog races and jumps, you will work in tandem in a wide array of physical fitness games, combining aerobic, anaerobic and plyometric exercises. Be prepared to sweat… a lot!

Tricks 1: Learning Dog Tricks

Tricks 2: Advanced Dog Tricks

In this six-week workshop we emphasize sequencing as you learn how to string together the behaviors learned in Tricks 1 to really impress your friends. A great class for the busy dog or the future therapy dog. Your dog will even learn how to skateboard, put away his toys, play basketball and more!

Star Dog
