TRAINING CLASS SCHEDULE
Class Registration Form

Our training philosophy:
We believe training should be based on a relationship of
trust, not fear. For that reason, we use positive
reinforcement, redirection and luring to train dogs at the
lodge.
The use of physical corrections and other aversive training
methods (choke chains, prong collars, etc.) are prohibited in
our training programs.

The goal of this class is to achieve focus from your dog, which
in turn helps your dog react less to other dogs. You will learn
to redirect your dog's energy and attention to you. You will be
in a class with others who understand your dog's situation,
because they are going through it too.

Dogs are not to attend the orientation.
Children under 14 will not be allowed in this class.
Dogs must be up to date on vaccines: Distemper, Bordetella
and Rabies.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot guarantee that all dogs will
stop their reactive behavior. This class is designed to give you
the tools to get you started on a program that can take months of
hard work and dedication.
