Obedience Training

At The Feed Bag Training facility, we currently offer two levels of foundational obedience classes; General Manners Basic and General Manners Advanced.

General Manners

General Manners utilizes the Third Way of Dog Training, which helps dogs develop a relationship of trust and safety with their owner versus fear of punishment. The Third Way helps you and your dog learn about reinforcing desirable behaviors and managing the environment to prevent undesirable behaviors.

In the Basic Puppy (beginner) Class you will learn the basics of the Eye Contact Game; teaching the dog to focus on you, along with Sit/Maintain, Down/Maintain, Come When Called, Loose Leash Walking and Socialization, along with other behavioral skills. The Basic Puppy Class is ideal for puppies 8-15 weeks old. The Basic Adult Class offers the same techniques as Basic Puppy and is for dogs aged 16 weeks to Senior. The Basic Adult Class is for any dog of any age, but is especially ideal for the newly adopted dog.

In the Advanced Class, all of the above skills are ‘Proofed’ (perfected) plus additional skills and problem solving techniques are taught to help you with your ever-changing furry friend as he/she grows and matures.

Training Requirements

All Dogs must be in good physical health

Proof of Vaccinations recommended by your vet (i.e. Bordetella, Distemper, Rabies, or documented titers.

In order for your dog to receive the greatest benefit from class, it is vitally important that YOU make a commitment to your dog’s training outside of class. 15 minutes twice a day, every day is ideal.

Agility Training

Agility provides fun and excitement for you and your dog. Mentally as well as physically challenging, agility can be the perfect outlet for that high energy dog who’s ancestors actually had work to do, although dogs of all breeds can enjoy agility just for the sake of fun.

Beginner agility courses introduce you and your dog to jumps, A-frames, teeter-totters, dog walks and weave poles.

Intermediate and Advanced agility courses focus on proofing the foundations while building handling strength and increasing speed.

  Agility Classes

$100 per 8 week session, unless otherwise noted

Note:

Because of the waiting lists for agility classes, all agility class fees must be paid in full 1 week prior to start of session to hold your spot in class.
