with regular classes by Liz Demery
We are proud to have Liz at the core of our conformation training program.
Liz is especially great for people new to the sport, and feedback from folks newer to the
fancy has been terrific. When we are busy, a second ring is added so that the more
experienced handlers who just need to get ring time on dogs can maximize training time.
Often, toy specialist Don Zimmerman runs ring two.


AGILITY - next intro class starts Nov.30
Combined I & II starts Nov.9

We are delighted to announce the return of agility classes with Kari Morningstar! We feel that Kari is one of the most talented trainers we have ever met. Kari has the unique ability to develop happy, sucessful dogs in competition as well as making classes fun for the handlers. She is also skilled at working with dogs who are shy or lacking confidence. We are thrilled to have her teaching here again. Even if competition is not your goal, the work you do in her classes will make your relationship with your dog even better.

OBEDIENCE - next classes begin Dec. 1
Our new obedience classes are here! (View Flyer)

ARBOROADS FARM is delighted to announce the start of a new dog obedience program with Kari Morningstar! This is a paws-itive basic obedience training class which is based on behavior shaping instead of using corrections to train your dog. We will work toward both developing a solid relationship with your dog, as well as teaching the elements of the CGC test, the Canine Good Citizen, as set forth by the A.K.C. It is also designed to be an excellent foundation for any other dog activity you may want to pursue. Your dog will work on the basics of sit, stay, down, not to jump up on people, and to come when called etc., with positive behavior shaping methods you will be taught, so your pet can be enjoyed both at home and out in public, and well-behaved when going to the vets office.Check out the CGC at www.akc.org
This is not a class for aggressive dogs.

For this class you may use any type of collar initially, but you MUST bring a flat collar as the goal of this class is a paws-itive working relationship with your dog. You will need treats, clicker, or a favorite toy for this class. You will need a 6' leash.
CLASSES ARE ONE HOUR LONG and run for SIX WEEKS

BEGINNING OBEDIENCE- 7:15- 8:15 P.M.THURS. DEC. 1
CONTINUING OBEDIENCE- 6-7:00 P.M. THURS. DEC. 1

CLASS FEE IS $95- THIS IS AN INTRODUCTORY PRICE FOR THIS CLASS as it is new to our facility. It represents a great value, as Kari's classes always exceed expectations!
