Meet our Trainer!
Chelsea S.

CPDT-KA, AKC Evaluator

Chelsea has been working with dogs in various fields for over 15 years. With a passion for the animal-human bond, she helps open up communication between you and your furry friend through Pawsitive reinforcement.

Our in-person group classes bring you and your dog together as a team! Our classes follow a set curriculum of lessons, over a six week period. Each class is 60 minutes, on the same reoccurring day each week. Each class is tailored to specific learning levels along the path of basic obedience, ending in the completion of AKC’s Canine Good Citizen certification. Our classes use only positive reinforcement techniques that are proven to increase confidence in your dog, improve your communication as a pair, and increase the frequency with which your dog responds to you in all types of situations. Let us reach Pawsitivity Peak together! 

Elementary class is your dog’s first stop for learning basics. Elementary class takes two directions, based mostly on the age of your dog and the way in which each age group learns.

Puppy Elementary
This is puppy’s first group class! As we learn more about the world around us, this class focuses on socialization in safety, building firm foundation skills. - TOPICS include: Socialization, Canine Communication, Pawsitive Reinforcement, Crate Training, Stranger Danger- SKILLS: Come, Focus, Sit,  Wait/Stay, Settle/Down, Leave It, Drop it, Socializing on Leash, a complete comprehension of Loose Leash Walking Skills and SO much more!- For puppies 9 weeks to 5 months- must be current on all vaccinations for their age

$299

Beginners Elementary

This is for dogs over 6 months of age. As these pups are essentially adolescents, the class is gear more towards trouble shooting as we introduce the same basics as Puppy Elementary.  As we learn to navigate the world for the first time, it’s important to keep focused on foundational skills. This is also the class for any who have not had any previous training, but are too old for Puppy class.

PREREQUISITE: Pass Elementary skills or comprehensive skills

Does your furry friend has some basic skills, but they just don’t seem to “stick” when you need them to? Does he see another dog and all bets are off? Or she only listens when you are holding a treat right in front of her nose? This class improves upon ELEMENTARY skills by bringing them into the real world. Adding more reliability with distances. Improving response frequency while near distractions. And increasing the duration of settle, sit, and wait/stay. - SKILLS: Stay, Place, Heel, Calm Greetings, Recall With Distractions, Wait at the Door, and a lot more!- NOTE: Some classes take place in public settings.

 $299 

PREREQUISITE: Pass Fundamentals or comprehensive skills- This class improves on what Fundamentals built. In this class we improve reliability in all situations and phase out using treats as a primary reinforcement. As we prepare to take AKC’s Canine Good Citizen test, we will build and test real world skills. - SKILLS: Sit for Polite Petting, walking through a crowd, long distance recall, stay w/ Distance and Distractions, greeting other People with Dogs, and Supervised Separation- Class includes one Canine Good Citizen Test taken at graduation! - NOTE: Some classes take place in public settings!
