Classes

All classes consist of a one-hour session once a week for between 5-6 weeks, depending on the level of the class.  The classes are kept small in order that you and your dog get the individual attention you both need and deserve! 

The pace is slow enough so that you have plenty of time to practice the new material between class sessions.  (Please contact me for locations and fees.)

Basic Manners –  Train to have a better mannered companion in 5 weeks!  This class is offered in various locations.  I also offer semi-private groups (2-3 students) upon request.

Workshops!  “Trail Manners/Intermediate Obedience”,  “Recall in the Real World”: (Coming when Called), and others.   The workshops allow you to keep practicing what you learned in your earlier training, in new environments, but without having to commit to weekly classes.  New workshops are added throughout the year.  Please email me to be notified: morgan@pawsitivepals.net

Private Lessons:  Different packages to meet your needs!  These are great for those who can’t attend a group class due to a hectic schedule.  They are also great for a jump-start before starting a group class.  Ask me about combo packages that include a workshop so that you can have both one-on-one AND group experience!   Call for prices.  Multi-lesson discounts available.

Behavior Consultations:  I can help you and your canine friend with various behavioral issues.  In addition, I offer pre-/post-adoption counseling and guidance for new parents adding a child to their family, striving for “happy ever after” lifetimes together with their family dog.

Presentations:  I am available to speak to your school or group on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:  Safety around dogs, canine communication and body language, sled-dog training, and the Iditarod.

Animal Assisted Therapy Consultations:  Are you a Mental Health Professional interested in adding Animal Assisted Therapy to your practice?  I can help you decide if this is the right therapeutic modality for you and help you with training your animal for this very special task.   I am involved in mental health research investigating the use of AAT for various emotional and developmental disorders. 

All instruction uses humane, science-based, positive reinforcement methods.  

All of the above services require pre-registration.   Please contact Nannette for dates, prices and to reserve a spot.  Classes and workshops are kept very small so spaces fill up quickly.
