Click It, Don’t Kick It!An introduction to the art and science of clicker training for unruly dogs and their exasperated guardians.

Do you have a young dog that.....

• is difficult to walk on a lead?

• pulls your arm out of socket when you go for walks?

• refuses to come when called?

• thinks the word “sit” means “run away” or “do whatever you want”?

Have you tried traditional dog training methods without getting the results you want? Perhaps it is time to try something new. This class is taught by A.B.I. certified trainer, Jon Borcherding. It is an introduction to the fun, exciting training method known as “clicker training”.

This method is effective on dogs of all sizes and ages. It is especially useful with dogs that are fearful or anxious when confronted with traditional training tools like chain collars, voice corrections, etc.

Requirements: Proof of current vaccinations, 6 ft. lead, dog treats, scoop bags and paper towels. The class is for dogs of any age or breed. Dogs aggressive to other dogs will not be accepted.

Do not feed dog before class.
