Monday Class Lineup



5:00 PM - AKC Rally - Flashcard Obedience

Drop-In Class

(Spots Available! - Email us to get started!)

Think of an AKC Rally event as any team sport: You and your dog navigate a course, side-by-side, as you steer him through a course of 10-20 different signs. Each of these signs provides instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. The dog and handler move continuously throughout the course with the dog under control at the handler’s left side. There is a clear sense of teamwork between the dog and handler both during and between the numbered signs. Although each performance is timed, having a good race time is not the goal; it’s all about working as a team while performing the skills, with the dog under control. (Courtesy of: AKC.org)

Master Trainer Julie Hughes will help you learn moves that will make you and your canine partner shine! Non-reactive students only.

🐶Class Reminders🐶

Do’s

• Wear ONLY closed-toed, comfortable shoes. Absolutely no flip-flops, sandals, or high heels, due to safety.
• Bring a treat pouch or apron with room for different proteins. 
• Bring a six-foot leather, biothane, rope, or nylon leash in good repair.
• Pre-package and freeze different proteins during the week. Use Ziploc bags to separate your proteins. Always bring more than you think you will need! For example, soft treats such as hotdog cut into bite-size pieces, soft commercial treats in small pieces, and fresh protein like beef or chicken.
• For nervous dogs, bring a blanket or towel from home.
• For pulling dogs, use a martingale collar and front closing harness. Clip the collar and martingale together in the front to give you more control.
• Bring your “YES”s to reward your dog. “YES” is a marker word we use to let your dog know they performed the correct behavior.

Do Not's

• NO “Flexi-Leads” on campus!
• Absolutely NO poo-bags hanging from leashes!
• Do not feed your dog a meal right before class. They need to be a little hungry for all the tasty treats!
• Do not let your dog contact any other dog on-leash or without Julie’s permission while on campus.
• Do not bring any female dogs who are in season to class. Please check with Julie for rescheduling. Again, this is for the safety of all of our students, including yours!

We can’t wait to see you and your pups!

Congratulations to Julie Hughes (and her canine partners) on their accomplishments in AKC Rally, this past weekend in Ocala, FL!
