Trick testing is offered on the last night of class if you wish to earn trick titles under AKC Trick Dog or Do More With Your Dog titling programs. For more information: www.akc.org or www.domorewithyourdog.com

Note: If your dog attempts to bite or has bitten a person, or lunges/snaps at other dogs, or you are not physically able to control your dog, then a group class is not a suitable environment. It is best to consult with an animal behaviorist.
