Our “tricks” class is designed to be a fun, challenging, and rewarding class for you and your dog. Taylor Loomis will instruct you on your “tricky” journey with behaviors such as: Turn Left, Turn Right, Weave, Over, Under, Bang, Crawl, etc. As you progress, some dogs will be able to learn things like pick up your toys, back, climb, bow, handstands and more. This course is structured so that you will learn how to teach your dog specific tricks! More importantly, you will learn the foundation of how to teach your dog new tricks, how to break down complicated tricks into specific parts, and how to put individual pieces together to complete a trick. Once you understand how to train a trick, the possibilities are endless as to what you can teach your dog. The best part? Trick training will improve your ability to communicate with your dog, will boost your dog’s confidence, and it can also be used to improve focus! Our tricks class is open to anyone interested in training their dog and improving their communication skills with their dog. Whether you have a new puppy or rescue dog and are looking to bond and have fun, or have an older family dog and are looking for a low-impact and unique form of exercise, this class for you. Cost – $400 for 5 Lessons or $700 for 10 Lessons.

 

***Tip: We recommend you bring your dog’s favorite treats and/or a favorite toy you use with your dog while training.

Any dog regardless of age, breed, size or temperament can enjoy and benefit from this activity. Nose work is great for building confidence in a shy dog, giving an active dog an appropriate and challenging outlet for its energy or helping a reactive dog overcome its environmental sensitivity. Cost – $300 for 5 Lessons or $600 for 10 Lessons.
*Some dogs may rapidly excel at nose work and do even more advanced searches in the sessions and some dogs may need more sessions to complete the curriculum. Nose Work is all positive and training is conducted at your dog’s learning pace for optimum results and to ensure the dog is conducting thorough and accurate searches.

 

We are AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluators. We don’t charge a fee for these evaluations, but we do request a small donation to a designated rescue/shelter at the time of the official evaluation. We can evaluate your dog or help you get your dog ready for this evaluation through training.

 

If you choose to take lessons, lessons will be scheduled a minimum of 1 week apart. Only Einstein E-collars will be used in obedience training. Please see our FAQ for model numbers. Additional lessons are $100.00 each. If you refer a friend to OLK9 Raleigh/Durham, we’ll give you a free Advanced Lesson!

 

 We target the issues you are having while working through the obedience program. In our opinion, behavior cannot be modified without having complete control of your dog. Behavioral modification and obedience go hand in hand. As you are working through your program, we will also be working on the specific issues you may be facing with your dog.
