Positively Best Friends Dog Training has added more Saturday dog training classes.

Starting the morning of September 15, three new classes will be offered including Foundation (Beginner) Agility, Canine Good Citizen and Great Beginnings!

“Get Over It!” Foundation Agility class is a great introduction to the very fun sport of dog agility, where handlers lead dogs over jumps, through tunnels and over a variety of other obstacles. No previous experience needed. The class is open to all ages of dogs and handlers.

The “We’re Certifiable!” Canine Good Citizen (CGC) class is for students who wish to prepare for the American Kennel Club CGC certification evaluation in basic good manners like walking nicely on a leash, greeting strangers and walking through crowds.

At the end of the class, the student may choose to be evaluated for the CGC certification or just use the class for further practice of good community dog skills.

“Great Beginnings!” is a great follow-up to “Good Pup!” or as a stand alone class for dogs over 20 weeks old. The class focuses on all the essential behaviors of walking nicely on a loose leash, sit, down, stay and come.

This is the ideal starter class for the family dog, for the first time dog owner or the seasoned trainer and is the foundation for many of the other classes offered by Positively Best Friends.
