For Starters:  $120 

Have one of those "stubborn"  "difficult" or notoriously "hard to train" dogs?  Did you know that clicker training works for them too?  Positive Reinforcement methods work for all breeds, but some are just not Lassie or the perfect golden down the block.  If you have one of these dogs, this class is designed to teach you why your dog isn't, well a lab when it comes to learning, and how you can still jump start training and make it into higher level classes, or just have a great canine companion.  This class covers the same material learned in Canine Elementary with a different flair.  :)

Canine Middle School: $70
