Puppy Kindergarten (Manners Class) Sunday 3:30 pm

Puppy Kindergarten (Manners Class)

Puppy Kindergarten is designed for dogs 12 weeks to 6 months of age.  This class will cover gaining the puppy's attention, impulse control, learning to relax, basic commands, leash manners, and safety issues.  Confidence with new experiences will also be introduced.  The primary emphasis of this class will be to develop a positive relationship between the puppy and family members. 

This class will qualify for AKC Star Puppy certification (must attend ALL sessions to qualify). 

The first class is for humans only (please leave puppies at home). 

You will need to bring your puppy's vaccination records to the first class. 

Prerequisite: None

The waitlist is in case a place opens in this class. It does not carry over to future classes.

Instructor: Gayle Mitchner
Assistant: Jennifer Wheeler

No class on July 6.

The mission of GCOC is to teach the handler successful methods of training which will result in a lifelong bond with their dog. Our goal is to provide a safe environment that will encourage this learning process. GCOC does reserve the right to excuse any dog who is disruptive or whose learning threshold has been exceeded.

GCOC reserves the right to cancel or reschedule classes.

The Greater Columbia Obedience Club will refund fees paid for a class, minus a $15 administration fee, if cancellation occurs at least five days prior to the first day of class. If cancellation is requested after that period, but the available slot can be filled from the class wait list, the payment minus the $15 administration fee, will be refunded. No refund will be paid if the slot cannot be filled, or the class begins. GCOC recognizes that extenuating circumstances may occur. In this event, an application may be made to the Training Director for a review of the situation. Such occurrences as a bitch in heat, death in the family, illness of canine or trainer will be considered.
