Adult Level One Training Class
Struggling with an older dog and not sure what to do? Rest assured, it's never too late to turn things around and start learning. Let us show you how to create that dog that your friends and family will say is the most well behaved dog they know.
Our Adult Level One program is for dogs over 5 months of age who missed out and didn't take the Puppy Level One Program. It's never to late to start learning and no age is too old. We often refer to level one as "Grade School". Successful graduates would then be qualified to continue on to our Level Two aka "High School" program.
Classes run for 6 weeks for 1 hour per week.
Maximum 4 dogs per class
Handler Limit: Minimum 1 adult handler/dog is required. Maximum 2 handlers per dog allowed (no exceptions). We require that one handler be at least 18 yrs of age. We welcome children under 18 years of age to participate as long as they are not disruptive and follow our instructions accordingly.
Pre-requisites: For dogs over 5 months of age at the start of class. Must have vaccinations up to date and be living in your home for at least one week prior to starting.
(Note: males over 6 months of age at the start of the program must be neutered. Females in season are not permitted).
***Only dogs that are friendly and receptive towards other dogs and people may attend classes.***
Aggressive, reactive or dogs with extreme fears are not suited/permitted in classes - see Private Training page for this service.
Price: $350 + hst = $395.50
Fee includes: Small classes with substantial individual attention, a detailed (345 page) step-by-step manual* containing the entire level one program as well as solutions to behaviour problems and more, free phone and email support during the program, a coupon for $5 OFF our Body Language Seminar & New Dog Items Checklist & 10% Savings Coupon from Creature Comfort Pet Emporium.
