Santa Clara Dog Training Club

BONUS: When you enroll in this class, you'll receive one entry into the Intermediate Obedience CGC Winter Field Day event on December 16th.  Please note, the Winter Field Day Event will be held in place of your regular class and may take place at a different time.  More details will be provided during class.

This class is designed for dog owners who are looking to improve their obedience skills or want to prepare for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) required behaviors. Key training areas include longer stays, duration attention, focused heeling, ignoring distractions, emergency stop, and rock-solid recall. Food rewards are used initially, but students will also learn how to transition away from food rewards by incorporating engagement and play into training.  Ask your instructor for more information about testing for the AKC CGC certificate.

Classes should be repeated to become proficient in all skills before advancing to the next level class.

Price:  $100 + 2.50 registration fee for 5 week session, classes are held on Tuesdays. 

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Beginner Obedience class or equivalent skill level.

What to bring to class: Flat collar, martingale, or slip collar, 6 foot leash, high value treats, treat pouch, water, mat/rug and a positive attitude!  No e-collars or retractable leashes.

Cancellation & Refunds: If you need to cancel anytime before the day of the first class of a session, we’re happy to offer a refund minus fees (currently about $13 to cover registration fees and credit card processing).No refunds can be given for cancellations made on or after the first class of a session. We’re also unable to offer refunds, credits, or prorated fees for missed classes once the session has started. I'm only signing up the one handler who’ll be working with the dog in class. If there are additional registrations with the same dog, those registrations will be canceled and refunded, minus fees. Need to switch to a class that’s a better fit for your skill level? Transfers may be possible, depending on space availability. Price differences will apply. Just contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
