Prerequisite: Initial Dock Rental Swimming Lesson or Email us your NADD number or proof that you have competed before (we want to make sure that your pup's experience and yours (and ours) is a good one!)

After PRE-REGISTERING your dog to compete on NADD's site, please select THE STARTING DATE for THE EVENT (even if you arrive later). Enter the number of total splashes. (two dogs jumping three times each would be six splashes). The total amount should match the amount owed on NADDs site. https://northamericadivingdogs.com/Facility/info/facilityid/104. We will then go in and mark them "Paid" and check-in will be super fast.

This class is designed to change the way you think about training and your methodology. Training is fun and your dog will love it and do GREAT after you learn how to think like them. Once you take this class, you will be ready to train your dog by just living with them. The exercises are designed to work as you integrate training into your everyday activities. You can pair this class with a group puppy class (25.00/1 hour shared between students) or an individual dog training class (50.00 for 1/2 hour).

The initial consultation will last 30 minutes and will require the human parent to be present. It will include some training which will be necessary for our trainer to determine a plan of action including an anticipation of what tools and programs will be used. (Example: Slip Lead). We use the Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive (LIMA) training strategy and do not punish. Tools are used to help the human - dog communication. Positive reinforcement training is our model for puppies and manners training.
