AGILITY FOR FUN - JUMPS, HOOPS AND MORE

This class is designed to not only mentally and physically exercise your pet, but to teach you and your pet to work as a TEAM!  You and your dog will travel the agility course while your dog learns jumps, going through weave poles and tubes, climbing an A-Frame and running to the finish for the win (A TREAT!).  You will guide your dog through all of these things telling them where to go next and what they will be doing.  It is great fun for both you and your pet!  This is a non-competition, fun class for you and your pet (this class does not meet AKC Agility Regulations and is designed for fun).  I have had many people decide to actually enroll in an AKC recognized agility program after trying this class and seeing how much fun and how rewarding it can be.  Perfect class for shy dogs also to build confidence and energetic dogs that need to burn off a bit of energy or gain a bit of focus.

Classes are held on Saturday afternoons and Sunday evenings.  Register at www.wheatonparkdistrict.com.  Search "dog".

INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED DOG OBEDIENCE

This class is for dogs that have had prior group training and has knowledge of all basic commands.  Refine and enhance your focus command, work your stay command for longer time durations, work on impulse control, learn hand signals, refine and perfect your recall command and add additional commands like find it, go around, left and right turns, figure 8's and more.  Great class for owners who are thinking about getting their Canine Good Citizen award or going into therapy work.

Class meets Friday evenings beginning February 24, 2012 at 7pm.  Register at www.wheatonparkdistrict.com
