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.

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-
