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 Open Enrollment, this means there is no need to wait, you can start this week!!

Puppy Kindergarten- just for pups 8-18 weeks at the start of class- is held Tuesdays from 7:30-8:30 pm.
Beginners Obedience, appropriate for all ages, perfect for dogs who have had no formal training and also a good starting point for those who have taken a class at their local pet shop or shelter. Open Enrollment Obedience is offered Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 pm. Orientation- attended without your dog- is every Wednesday at 7:00 pm.

Each of Canine University's beginner classes offers solid, foundational training to get you started on realizing the companion of your dreams (or at least a dog you like to live with!). We'll gladly help you set and reach your goals, and provide lots of coaching and attention to those special areas of concern!
As your dog's abilities increase, this class format allows students to successfully transition into Intermediate coursework.

Beginners Part II builds upon concepts learned in our beginners classes. It's the appropriate Next Step from puppy or adult dog beginner obedience. Beginners II is also open enrollment, so you can start any Tuesday at 6:30.

Specialty Courses have a specific agenda- whether it be working with a reactive dog, teaching tricks or good behavior in different settings.

Workshops and Seminars We occasionally offer single-date lectures as well as hands-on workshops in our class schedule. These may target nuisance behavior, prepare you for the AKC Canine God Citizens test, or cover topics on canine social behavior.
