Nancy Pantusa teaches our group Basic and Puppy Kindergarten classes. Nancy has been teaching classes for us since 1993, she is extremely knowldegeable and loves to help people build a better relationship with their dog.
Our group classes are fun for you and your dog. We purposely keep each class small (no more then 10-12 dogs/owners per class) so the instructor can give each person individual help as needed. The classes meet for 1 hour a week for six consecutive weeks.
The following material is covered:
Sit
Down
Stay
Come when called
Walk on a loose leash
How to prevent/correct jumping, barking, chewing, etc.
How to teach your dog NOT to run out open doors/gates
House training and Crate training
Socializing your puppy/dog
There is always time set aside for questions at the end of each class session and a weekly handout is distributed at the end of each class. Well behaved children are welcome to attend, and kids 8-10 years on up are encouraged to work their own dog in class!
Basic or Puppy 6-week class: $150
Discount offered for multiple dogs in the same househould.

Teaching a Stubborn Dog New Tricks
(real stories from real clients!)
Don Crook adopted Minute, a red heeler and hound dog mix, from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals when she was two months old.
Minute was a happy, well cared for puppy that became his daughter’s pet. While there were no serious behavioral problems, Minute displayed typical excited puppy behavior.
“She didn’t respond to any commands,” Don says. “When you walked her, she would charge ahead. Normal puppy stuff.”
When Minute was four months old, Don took her to Park Cities Obedience School for the Puppy Kindergarten group classes. The classes meet for an hour, once a week for six weeks, and the owners take part in teaching their puppies basic commands such as sit, stay, how to walk on a leash and to come when called.
