Canine Good Neighbour
The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) program promotes responsible pet ownership. The skills taught in this class will help you develop a well mannered, confident, and controlled dog in everyday situations both at home and in public.This is a fun, non-competitive class.
Rally Obedience
Rally obedience (also known as Rally or Rally-O) is an dog sport based on obedience. Unlike in Competitive Obedience, the competitors proceed around a course of designated stations with the dog in heel position. The course consists of 10 to 20 signs that instruct the team what to do. The team starts with 100 points, and the judge deducts points for mistakes.
Competitive Obedience
For dog owners who enjoy competition and relish the opportunity to work as a highly tuned team with their dog.
Agility
A fun and challenging sport where dogs are directed through a variety of obstacles such as hurdles, tunnels teeter-totter, A-frame, weave poles and much more. Not all levels of Agility are offered each session.

Scent Pathfinders New for Summer 2013!
Does your dog love to sniff? All that sniff-sniff-sniffing your dog does during nearly every waking minute is part of nature’s design. Give your dog something new and exciting to do that they will enjoy doing!
Scent detection taps into your dog’s natural scenting ability. This new exciting sport was inspired by the training of scent detection canines for the police and military. It is open to all dogs: pure-breds and mixed-breeds!
Dogs learn to develop their innate hunting ability and handlers begin to learn how to understand what their dog is telling them about the hunt.
Only one dog-handler team is working on the floor at one time.
The class introduces the concept of the game, builds handler observation skills and timing, and gets the dogs focused. All dogs are taught to identify the same scent, a legal natural essential oil. Additionally, we introduce techniques and tactics for building better dog/handler teamwork.
