Our five -week CGC class will take you and your dog through all the skills necessary to earn your CGC from AKC. The CGC is a wonderful award to have for a companion dog or for any dog that is being considered for Therapy or Service Dog Work. When you’ve been awarded your CGC, it means that your dog has been evaluated and is considered to have good manners in public -- to be a “canine good citizen”! In this class, we’ll practice each exercise and help you improve in any areas in order to pass the evaluation. The last night of class includes CGC Evaluation with our certified Evaluator, at no additional charge. $140.00 (Pups and dog of all ages, breeds and temperaments)
You will need to send your application to AKC with payment to receive your certificate.

Expand your pups scenting skills and give them a good place to focus all that natural ability.

We will meet in different locations to help build your pup's confidence and drive for scenting. We will work on leash management, threshold, rewarding at the sources pairing odor (depending on your pups skill level) and just having a good time for all.

The structure of the workshop dictates that one dog works at a time. 

Other dogs will remain secured in a crate or in car (weather permitting) until their turn.

We do have crates for use if we are at our Unleashed location

If a room full of frolicking small dogs isn’t argument enough, here are some additional reasons to attend Puny Paws.

​

It’s fun! And not just for the dogs. Puny Paws is likely to be the highlight of your entire week. Socialization is not just about other dogs! While your tiny tike runs, plays, trains and is introduced to new items (tunnels,platforms etc) they are learning important social skills and build a foundation that will last a lifetime. A confident dog is a happy dog. Puny Paws is great for all smalls, but particularly helpful for building confidence in shy ones. Bring your petite wallflower to PP and watch her bloom! A tired dog is a good dog PP manage your small dog’s pep. An dedicated romp and train will leave you with an easy, relaxed dog. Small dog people are cool Puny Paws is a great opportunity to meet other cool dog lovers, and to chat with pretty cool trainers, too.

 Come join us for some puppy agility!  It’ll be so much fun you’ll be smiling for days

Introduce your puppy to the experiences and equipment they will encounter when they start agility training… or just give them some exposure to Fun With Weird Objects!

This hands on workshop will acclimate the pups to agility equipment and foundation exercises, so if you decide to try agility, your pup will have had some early socialization to the equipment, making it easier for them to get going again later. It’s also fantastic for teaching puppies how to problem solve and confidently explore new things they may encounter in life.

We also show you some fun training games that can be done at home.
