Teach your dogs the foundations they need on their way to acheiving impecable manners! 

For dogs 5 months & older with little to no previous training, this 4-week introductory class will teach basic manners with impulse control & relationship-building exercises. Along with "sit," "down," and "wait" we also focus on redirection techniques, loose-leash walking, "come when called" & "leave it."

Class is limited to 6 dogs.  Class is at Scudder Campus in Wimberley, indoors and air conditioned! 

If you have not attended class with us before, please review our theory and essential info via YouTube, you will receive the link upon registration..  We will explain some basics of dog training, discuss equipment and management techniques to help you get the most out of class. Former students are welcome to attend for a refresher as well.

Please do not bring dogs on all metal collars including choke and pinch collars.  Harnesses, head halters, regular or martingale collars are all welcome. 

Motivating your dog is essential to good training!  Please bring bite-sized, high-value treats to class. Treats your dog likes at home may not be good enough for class.  Some all time favorites are cheese, chicken, hot dogs and meatballs.  Variety is good so you can mix in lower value treats with the good stuff.  If your dog loves toys you can bring them as well.

Important- when registering, please only add one person to the registration.  Registration is per dog.  Multiple people can attend with one dog at no extra charge, however, if you add additional people to the registration, you will be charged $140 for each person.

Nosework is one of the hottest dog sports around and continues to grow in popularity. It’s fun for both humans and dogs of all types- puppies to seniors, exuberant to shy, any can succeed. Once a dog becomes focused on odor, they gain the ability to ignore distractions and search for the target scent.  

Your dog will learn to search for a “cocktail” of odor including birch, anise and clove. If you have competition aspirations, this class is a great first step. You will learn basic search concepts, how to properly handle odor and teach your dog “odor obedience.”

We will provide you with scent, scent tins, containers and other basic scent supplies. You will need a 10-15 ft long line and a comfortable harness for your dog. You can come to class on whatever equipment you regularly use, but as we progress, your dog will learn to search in the comfortable harness. And, of course, you will want lots of high value, non-crumbly treats!

Our goal will be for this to be a one hour class. However, since it is our first time teaching it, we are going to allow for up to an hour and a half, as we figure out the best formats, progressions etc. Your dog will not be working the entire time! They will need frequent breaks and you will watch others go, cheer them on etc. You may want to bring a comfy bed or buy one of our pups pads for them to chill out on during their down time.

Because school is still in session the first week of class, we have to meet in the afternoon- 4:00, the first week only, then we will move to 10:00 AM. We have exercises for you to practice the week leading up to class, so scent supplies will be available for pick up on May 9th, 4:30 at Scudder. Is this time does not work for you, please reach out to make alternate arrangements. 

Lastly, your registration will come with access to a private YouTube page with videos you can refer to as you progress. We are so excited to dive into this class with you!
