OUR CLASSES AND SERVICES
Husband and wife, Michael and Debra, along with their son Jake Schneider believe that dog training should be a fun, educational experience and that you should train with your brain, not your brawn! Our positive reinforcement training programs include not only obedience, but behavioral training as well. At AllBreed our facility provides a comfortable learning environment as well as limited class sizes for personal attention. Each entry level class has a trainer and assistant to help you achieve your goal of a well trained dog. No more than two classes at a time are running. Our school offers a wide variety of programs to help you pave your way to a well trained family member and/or a competition dog.
Puppy Kindergarten I: For pups between the ages of 2-4 months at the time of class. This 6 week course is the perfect start for your puppy, covering foundation obedience, manners, social skills and canine behavior. Family members are invited to come, (human pack is limited to 4 and they must be old enough to sit quietly for the hour!). Training will be done as a family unit. Free play, the best part for your pup, is included at the end. A workbook is included with this class.
Puppy Kindergarten II: For pups between the ages of 4-5 months who have completed PK I. This four week course is a great “tweener” class continuing your puppy’s training.
Puppy Plus: This 8 week class is for AllBreed PK 1 and/or 2 graduates who want to continue in an accelerated Level 1 class. This is an equivalent to Level 1 with all the same work included, but more challenges put in! Graduates can go on to Level 2 upon completion.
Level I Obedience: For dogs 5 months or older. This 8 week program covers basic control and leadership techniques and exercises. Sit, down, stay, along with reliable recalls and soft leash heeling are included. Manners (jumping on people, barking, etc) and behavioral issues will be included, as well a “taste of agility” on week 7!
Level II Obedience: This next step of training continues Level I with additional challenges. This six week course includes formal heeling, longer stays, out of sight recalls, canine good citizen exercises and obedience games are just part of the fun!
Level III Obedience: This six week course is a perfect way to complete the finishing touches to a well trained dog. Hand signals, off leash work, distant commands, jump work and fetch is just part of the fun!
Canine Good Citizen Class: This class is a 4 week course. Students must have completed Level I and II. This AKC supported program is open to both mixed and purebred dogs. Ten tests must be passed in order to receive the Canine Good Citizen certificate from AKC. The evaluation is included on week 4.
Beginner Rally-O: For dogs who have completed Level II training, this new hot sport is a fun way to work obedience with a touch of agility. Rally takes your obedience and literally puts spins, pivots, turns and jumps to it. A great way to step your obedience up a notch while having fun! Class is six weeks in length.
Advanced Rally-O: For dogs who have completed Beginner Rally-O, this continuation will take get you working on those harder exercises that were introduced in Beginner Rally. It will also help you get ready to show in Rally if you care to. Or, just plain have more fun!
Competition Class: This six week block class is for dogs who have completed the Level III and are interested in working harder on their obedience, or entering into the world of obedience competition! Work on CD, CDX and UD and advanced Rally exercises are addressed each week.
Our Agility classes are offered year-round! May-Sept. classes are run outside. Nov-April we’re indoors. Three levels of agility are offered, as well as a handling class. Level 1 agility is for the new beginner, Level 2 is for the beginner graduate, level 3 is to continue working on problem areas, or just having fun. Our handling class is for the person who either wants m ore challenging courses, or is readying themselves to compete.
