Canine University 71 Clinton St Malden MA

Canine University Logo.
Winter 2010 Schedule

Canine University offers classes for all levels, abilities and interests. All courses are taught using operant conditioning through the use of a clicker and treats.

Beginners Classes are geared for the new dog in the family and are perfect for both the novice owner as well as those looking to establish an enduring relationship with a new dog. Typically 6 weeks in length.

Beginner Obedience Modules are held each week on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. You can join in any week, and attend up to 8 sessions over the course of four consecutive weeks. Solid, foundational training to get you started on realizing the companion of your dreams (or at least a dog you like to live with!) Orientation- attended without your dog- is every Wednesday from 6:30-7:30 pm.
Why wait for the next Puppy K when you can start this week?! And, if your dog has had some training & you are just beginning your input into this dog's education, this is a great place to start! We'll gladly help you track their grasp of the subject matter, and provide lots of coaching and attention to those special areas of concern! And as your dog's abilities increase, this class format allows students to easily transition into the Intermediate module/ better reliability without waiting for a class to start!!

Intermediate and Advanced Classes build upon concepts learned in our Beginners classes; we also offer courses for polishing skills as well as learning new and fun activities for you and your dog.

Intermediate Obedience Modules are held each week on Wednesday evenings and on Saturday mornings. Wednesday evenings we help you improve and expand upon a variety of basic behaviors; on Saturdays we target specific skills- coming when called, heeling on leash, etc.- over a four week period.
As in our Beginner Modules, you can join in any week, and can attend both Wednesday and Saturday sessions over the course of four consecutive weeks for no additional cost.

Specialty Courses Four weeks in length, these are offered on Thursday evenings and have a specific agenda, whether it be working with a reactive dog, teaching tricks or strengthening your relationship thru training games. With Rowdy Rovers being the exception, those who enroll can also attend the Wednesday Intermediate Module.
