Adult Manners
(ages 5 months & older)
Focuses on the behaviors of walking on a loose leash, sit, down, come and stay; as well as more complex behaviors such as wait, leave it, settle and a moving down. This is the ideal class for the family dog, first–time dog owner or seasoned trainer; and a "must" for providing the opportunity to accustom your dog to responding to your signals with mild distractions. Adult Manners is a great follow-up to Puppy Manners, or a stand-alone class for dogs over the age of 20 weeks

SpeedWay
Classes
SpeedWay
Start your Engines…
SpeedWay is a new event division of Canine Performance Events, offering dogs and their humans another opportunity to play in a fun, competitive environment! SpeedWay offers both individual and team classes. Just like with Agility, you can learn and have tons of fun together with your dog in class and choose either to compete in SpeedWay trials or never step foot in the competition ring if that isn't your thing.
I tried out the SpeedWay games with my own dogs, and had so much fun that I decided to offer SpeedWay classes to my students! Now I'm a SpeedWay Course Marshal (Judge) and competing in trials with four of my dogs!
