Agility:
Jumps, tunnels, weave poles, dogwalks, a-frames…this is the most fun
you can have with your dog! Agility increases the dog/handler bond
and causes shy or fearful dogs to become more confident. Dogs under
the age of one year will perform age-appropriate exercises (we won’t
stress a puppy’s growing body).
My agility field is always open! If you
are in the Codroy area and wish to drop by for a lesson, just give
me a call and I will gladly provide a private lesson for $10.00 for
about an hour. Afterwards we can go for a free run on the
beach with your dogs and mine! Group agility classes/fun
days are listed below in the calendar.
Group obedience classes: Join
us in the beautiful Codroy Valley for obedience classes! Class
content: better listening skills, coming when called, calm and
relaxed behaviour in the presence of distractions, plus the normal
useful commands such as sit, stay, down, settle, and “leave it.”
There will be four intensive classes held every two weeks over the
course of the summer in an outdoor location. After each class,
there will be a free run at the beach for dogs that are
comfortable/suitable to run with other dogs—socialization
opportunities are endless! Any dog over the age of 3 months may
attend.
This year's
obedience class schedule is listed below in the calendar.
Private lessons/obedience and solving behaviour problems:
I will come to your home for about a two-hour session and tailor a
training program to your specific family and dog. Cost is
$80.00. I cover the area between Deer Lake and Rose Blanche.
Should you wish to drop by my place instead (less than ideal--it is
better for me to see you and the dog in the home environment, but
better than nothing) about a two-hour session costs you $40.00.

***Yet to be scheduled: More obedience and agility
classes. We will keep going until the weather stops us!
SLEDDING AND SKIJORING!!! Anyone
interested in doing this? We can start training together as
the weather gets cooler. I have skijoring belts, harnesses to
fit a variety of dogs, scooters, and a dogsled.
