"Hi Lisa, just talking with Megan about how well Chauncey is doing...I so appreciate the tools you've given us to work with him. We learned so much in the 6 weeks of class! Megan is delighting in having a responsive dog and exploring his ability to learn."

Lisa's Dog Blog
Classes in Clayton. Training building is insulated and heated. There are large areas of fenced wooded and grassy areas for training and socialization. It is a rural country setting, complete with the scent of deer, the flutter of game birds and sound of song birds. Classes in the Spokane Valley are in a new training room at Doggyland Day Care off of Pines on Montgomery Drive.

Clayton Classes: $75 for six weeks Valley Classes: $85 for six weeks

The Thinking Dog
~ And Thinking Handler
Open to students that have attended one or more training classes. It is probably the most fun if you've attended at least a second level class...

Handlers will learn:
- How to keep dogs calm and focused in the midst of other exciting things
- How to stop nagging, popping the leash and shouting commands.
- How to depend less on the collar & leash and more on relationship
- How to encourage dogs to engage their brains in the learning process
- How to think through your side of the communication equation - the dogs are never wrong. They are generous in pointing out our training flaws and helping us be better handlers.

Dogs will learn
- To control their impulses...In past classes this translates to staying calm when greeting people, remaining calm when other dogs/people move quickly around them, holding a "stay" command no matter what, coming away from distractions.

- Anything you want them to learn...perfect & pretty heeling, tricks, responding to cues at a distance, doing what you ask even without food in your hand, coming away from distractions.
