What is
C.L.A.S.S.™
C.L.A.S.S. stands for Canine Life and Social Skills.  It is an
assessment program developed by the Association of Pet Dog
Trainers which takes students through a series of real-life activities.  
There are three levels of training and assessment.  You need to pass
each level to graduate to the next:

  • K9 B.A. (Bachelor) Assesses core life skills, such as waiting at
    the door,  settling down,  loose leash walking and others.

  • K9 M.A. (Master) Assesses the B.A. skills, but  adds distractions
    to simulate real-world experiences, such as walking past a
    covered food bowl and waiting at the door while a person
    passes by.

  • K9 Ph.D. (Doctorate) Assesses  the dog's life skills at a higher
    level of mannerly behavior.  Dogs are asked to do such things as
    walk nicely on lead while you carry a bag of groceries and lie
    down quietly while you eat a snack or converse with a friend.

C.L.A.S.S. emphasizes maintaining reliable skills that have real-life
relevance. This is a great way to build a strong relationship with your
dog.  
Our C.L.A.S.S. preparation is a 6-week program.  All of the
skills required for the test items will be covered and will vary
depending on the assessment level. You will be expected to
do
lots of practicing between sessions!

Please note:  Passing the C.L.A.S.S. assessment
upon completion of this program cannot be
guaranteed, however the test can be retaken
as many times as necessary.  

Training is one session per week,
one hour per session.
You really can have A BETTER TRAINED DOG!!
