Open to the public starting 9/7/26

Open to the public for $125.00 for 5 one-hour sessions.

This class introduces the dog and handler to basic manners skills, allowing dogs and handlers to gain confidence and experience working together.  This Manners class is for dogs who are past the puppy phase and ready for the ‘big kid’ stuff.  CKCOJ periodically offers a Puppy Class more appropriate for younger dogs. 

The class will address: loose-leash walking, sit, down, stay, and "leave it" commands.  We will concentrate on teaching our dogs to follow commands with greater distance and longer duration, while staying focused and engaged.  The class includes learning basic obedience exercises such as heeling, Sit for Exam, and recall.   

All exercises are performed on a six-foot leash.  Handlers are permitted to talk to, praise, and give extra commands to their dogs during and between exercises.

Requirements: 6-foot leash and plenty of "high-value treats".  Your dog's kibble may be expensive, but it's not a high-value treat. Also, bring a small mat or pad, or towel for your dog to sit on.  Water and a dish are encouraged.    

Prerequisites: This class is not appropriate for reactive dogs and those with excessive barking.  Safety for everyone is important, as we will be working in close proximity to other dogs and handlers.
