Outdoor Loose Leash Walking:
June 3- 24, 2010. 7:30pm.
$60 member, $85 non-member Class Limit: 6
This small, very personalized class will focus on Loose Leash Walking outdoors in the big, wide world, with plenty of distractions and suggestions for coping with them. We'll walk in groups and individually, practicing manners at corners, on-the-spot recalls and, of course, not pulling. The class is held outdoors, so bring appropriate clothing for warmer, cooler or damp weather. In the event of heavy rain, the class will be held over for another week. Check the web site for cancellations.
Nosework for Fun!
May, 2010 (this class is full, check back for updates on our next session)
Nosework is a new competition sport, though no competition is required to have fun with your dog! Nosework allows your dog to have fun doing dog things, primarily sniffing and finding goodies. The first level teaches your dog how to find a box with food in it, and then increase their skill at finding the correct box as the "hide" becomes more challenging. Nosework can be done both on and off leash, in a fenced-in area, so regardless of your dogs temperament around other dogs, they can have fun and participate in this sport. For more information on nosework as a sport, see http://www.nacsw.net/home.html
Five Weeks, Prices to be determined. Email info@nedtc.org for more information
