Classes
​

Puppy Kindergarten - (For Puppies 8 weeks - 16 weeks)  Start your puppy off right!  Now is the time to begin socializing and obedience training.  Learn to address issues such as jumping, pulling, nipping, crating and housebreaking.  At the Silver City Canine Training Center, we offer excellent puppy classes that are geared toward the family pet or the future performance dog.  Puppy Kindergarten is a wonderful place to start for the novice or experienced dog owner.

Beginner Obedience - (For dogs 4 months and older)  This course covers the basics:  Walking on lead, sit, down, stay and coming when called.  Individual issues of jumping, pulling, nipping and housebreaking are addressed.  

Advanced Beginner Obedience - After completion of the Beginners Course, learn how to improve your basic skills, use body cues and start distance training.

Ring Ready - Preparation skills for Rally and Obedience competition.

Agility - This drop-in class, introduces you and your dog to obstacles used in agility courses (tunnels, see-saws, dog walks, weave poles, assorted jumps, etc.).

Rally Obedience - (Basic obedience skills, all levels)  Rally is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been designed by the Rally judge.  The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations (10 - 20, depending on the level).  Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the skill that is to be performed.
