Foundations
F3020 No Pee Zone
3 WEEK CLASS - Some dogs are all business and focus on their task. Other dogs want to DO their business! Urine marking is a normal and instinctual behavior, but changing it can be very challenging once habits have been formed. Even dogs who are highly focused on their task can mark, and it can be even more challenging when we are doing sniffing sports!
F3017 Building a Rock-Solid Food Refusal
3 WEEK CLASS - Could your dog stay in a down while someone drops food right in front of them, or even between their feet?
F3000 The Hows and Whys of Teaching Clean Verbal Cues
3 WEEK CLASS - Have you found it challenging to help your dog grasp verbal cues? Does it seem like your dog sometimes doesn’t recognize the verbal cues you’ve taught? Or perhaps verbal cues feel less relevant to your specific sport. Understanding how to create meaningful cues is a crucial but often misunderstood aspect of training. Fully trained cues ensure that your dog consistently responds with the desired behavior whenever needed. If a behavior isn’t on cue, it’s not truly complete.
F3018 Using Food in Training
3 WEEK CLASS - Whether our dog is mugging us for food, struggling to ignore food containers, or refusing to work when food isn’t visible, the underlying problem may be surprisingly similar: food itself has become part of the cueing picture, and its presence or absence is determining what our dog does next.

D3000 Focus on Heel Position for Retriever Sports
3 WEEK CLASS - No matter what sport you play, you have a Ready Position. Your dog knows that getting in position is what turns on the game! Or at least, that's the goal.
Scent Sports
N3005 Building Reliable Source Alerts
3 WEEK CLASS - A nose freeze can make it easier to call “ALERT!”, but it is not necessarily the right choice for every nose work team. This 3-week class is for teams that want to build, refine, or better understand a nose freeze behavior as a trained final response (TFR) while evaluating whether it aligns with their communication and competition goals. Exploration of a nose freeze and working through the process isn't necessarily a commitment to a new behavior, and at the very least you can walk away with your dog having a higher reinforcement history for odor source!
