Obedience Courses
I am currently offering the following courses located at the Laconia Humane Society. If you're interested in signing up please fill out the form below so I may add you to the class. Depending on the class I take a maximum of 5 or 6 dogs so sign-up early! If you have any questions before signing up please contact me.
Puppy level 1:
We will go over the basics in behavior such as: Housetraining, sit, down, stay, no more nipping, no more jumping, leave it, no more pulling, heel, and come. Of course your puppy will also get a chance to socialize with other puppies!
Adult level 1:
This course is for dogs 8 months and above. This class focuses on problem solving and self control. We will teach your dog basic manners and obedience such as: Sit, Down, Stay, Wait at doors, No more pulling, No more jumping, Come when called, Heel, and Leave it. Please contact me for more information.
Advanced Level 2:
This is for any graduates of my level 1 classes. We will start adding distance, distraction, duration, and difficulty to commands the dogs already know. I will also try (weather permitting) to hold class outside in order to add distractions and to make everything more realistic. I will also teach a few new commands but the focus of this class is to build on their base knowledge. Because this class will be working on self control, we will not be having play time. It's all about work!
Tricks Class:
Open to any age dog, this will be a fun, easy going class that can help create a stronger bond between you and your dog. Each week we will learn 2-3 new tricks (all of which the students will
come up with), and by the end of the 5 week session your dog will know 10-15 new tricks.
Have a shy dog? This can be a great way to help him/her learn some self confidence. Have a high energy dog? This
is great way to give them the mental stimulation they crave. Have a therapy dog? This is a great skill for entertainment. Great for kids as well! Because I am commited to making this a fun and safe
environment for all students dogs must be friendly towards other dogs and people in order to participate. Please contact Kelly if there are any questions or to see if your dog qualifies.
