CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Puppy Social - Hala's Paws in Mission Viejo
Puppy socialization windows close at 16-18 weeks of age. From when your puppy may come home around 8 weeks until then, we have the opportunity to maximize their genetic potential to be a well-mannered, happy-go-lucky best friend. Positive experiences with people, children, other puppies and dogs, surfaces, sounds, and everyday objects. We'll also troubleshoot common issues like housetraining, separation anxiety, and teaching basic manners like tag, sit, down, name recognition, and recall. I'll also address what is healthy exercise for your puppy's growing joints.
Foundations - Behind Regal Cinema in Foothill Ranch
We will cover the foundation behaviors for any pet dog to be a well-mannered canine companion: Name, Tag, Come, Sit, Front, Down, Stay, Release, Sit-to-Greet a classmate, Mat at the sound of a doorbell, Loose-Leash Walking, Auto Sit, Long-Line Recalls with Distractions, and more! Classes are randomized to suit a drop-in schedule and I will take requests.
Canine Good Citizen Practice - Behind Regal Cinema in Foothill Ranch
For those who'd like to prepare to take the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test for fun, therapy dog certification, or service dogs in training. Teams ready to test will be done in the last 15 minutes of a class so that classmates can get first-hand experience and help facilitate the test elements. The next level can be practiced concurrently.
Tricks - Behind Regal Cinema in Foothill Ranch
Tricks are a fabulous way to challenge intelligent dogs, bond with nervous dogs, and help start service dog tasks. Work through tricks to fulfill your Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert Trick Dog titles through Kyra Sundance's Do More With Your Dog organization. You must complete 15 easy tricks for Novice, 12 moderate tricks for Intermediate, and 6 difficult tricks for Advanced and Expert. My puppy, Zenzi, completed her Novice Trick Dog title at just 7 weeks old, and holds the record as the youngest puppy to complete it.
Behavior Therapy Pack Walks - Baker Ranch Community Park
This is a unique offering, designed to provide a safe place to practice what you've learned in private sessions. Whether you're working with Ash or another trainer using similar methods, you're welcome to attend this pack walk to have more dogs and people with whom to put your counter conditioning and desensitization protocols into action. For getting control of reactive, fearful, shy, or overly excited dogs, there is nothing better for safe training practice. I address dogs whose triggers are people or other dogs. Severely aggressive or fearful dogs should seek private training exclusively.
