Ever been curious about Mark & Reward Training (otherwise known as Clicker Training)? If so, this is the class for you. We will be using primarily marking and rewarding to teach your dog the place behavior, as well as 2-3 other tricks such as bow, stand, sit pretty, shake, spin, rollover, etc. This is not a Basic Obedience class so we will not cover sit, down or any leash work, just fun tricks!
Remember to bring training treats (yummy, high value treats work best) and a clicker (OPTIONAL).

Pets In Training, Stable Tolerant Obedient Partners - With the media focus on Pit Bull type dogs (PBTD) and the Breed Specific Legislation surrounding us, at times it can be challenging to own a PBTD in today’s society. PITSTOP class can offer you an understanding group of other owners to train alongside. Of course, we invite PBTDs into any and all of our training classes and do not train them any differently than other dogs. PITSTOP is an ongoing drop in class that is for PBTDs and any of their canine friends!
The ultimate goal of the PITSTOP class is to certify as many dogs in our community as possible as Canine Good Citizens through the AKC (http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/index.cfm). Animal Farm Foundation (http://animalfarmfoundation.org/) generously supports our efforts to “secure equal treatment and opportunity for ‘pit bull’ dogs” by offering a grant for each PBTD and owner team that we support to certification.
