Can your dog do this?

With our help she could.
Big Times Kennel offers a complete canine training program.
Whether you would like a well behaved pet or an accomplished competitor we have
it all. Our obedience programs start with the Manners 101 classes where
basic handling and good manners are taught. From here we offer an array of
different classes in obedience and agility and from time to time we offer the
AKC’s Canine Good Citizen Program. All instruction is available in group
lessons, as well as private and semi private venues. All our instructors
are experienced trainers and they compete regularly in the venues they are
teaching. Presently our instructors are competing in agility, obedience,
tracking and confirmation. With our competition grade instructors we feel we are
well prepared to handle your pet’s problems in a professional manner.
All our classes are small (7 or less) and offer a
lot of one on one attention so that each dog and handler are given the utmost
personal attention.

barking, digging and
jumping. Need

to be a perfect neighbor? “Manners 101”
is the place to start. This is a class
for puppies and adult dogs. 7 week course

Manners
201 Have a desire to be better
than average? Would you like to prepare
for going into competitive obedience or maybe have a desire to do a little
agility? This class will better prepare
you for the road ahead concentrating on the skills you will need to be
successful at the next levels. Heeling
both on and off lead will be focused on, plus we will begin the essential skills
needed in competitive obedience and agility.
Everyday social skills will also be reviewed whether it is meeting
another dog or company coming to the house. Everyday social skills are just as
important as getting that competitive edge. Learn
how to play with your dog and build a great relationship with your partner. .

Beginning agility will
introduce your team to the fun of agility.
Focus will be put on the proper execution of each obstacle from the
placement of the handler to the proper set up of the dog.

emphasis on contacts and weave poles. It

lead you to future successes in agility.
