What's so great
about Rolling Enrollment?
about Rolling Enrollment?
- Rolling Enrollment lets you start dog training classes when it's convenient for you. No need to wait six weeks for a new obedience class to start!
- There's no need to worry about missing a class! Going on vacation for two weeks? No problem! Your investment is safe. You have three months to finish six sessions. That gives you plenty of flexibility.
- Adult dog classes have a menu! You get to choose what you sign
up for. Want to teach your dog to roll over? Cool! Come to tricks
night! Have no interest in teaching your dog party tricks? No
problem, skip that night, come to agility night!
Highland Obedience Rolling Enrollment Dog Training Classes
Almost all of our dog training classes are in a rolling enrollment format. This allows greater flexibility for us and our students. You can start classes whenever you are ready, you can miss a class without losing a class, and you can stay in any given level as long as you need.Before beginning a rolling enrollment class with Highland Obedience, we ask new students to attend a two hour orientation session where you will learn about how your dogs think and why they act the way they do. We'll share our training philosophy and techniques and prepare you for attending a class with your dog.
- Puppy Kindergarten
Puppy Kindergarten has an 8 week
curriculum. Puppies 8 to 16 weeks sign up for 4 weeks at a time
($65). Topics covered include basic obedience commands, house
training, biting, jumping, chewing, handling and restraint, and,
most importantly, socialization. This is primarily an off-leash
class. Pups get to play together and learn that playtime and
training go hand in hand.
- Adolescent Basic Obedience
After graduating from Puppy Class,
adolescent dogs may move into Adolescent Class. Adolescents sign up
for 6 sessions ($110) and then may add another 4 sessions ($65).
The focus of this class is to keep adolescent dogs from driving
their owners mad. Adolescent dogs are like adolescent humans,
almost impossible to live with. But it is more critical than ever
to give them the support and structure they need to become good
adult citizens. In this class, dogs get to play together with
frequent intermissions for group down stays, settling exercises,
off leash walking with the owner and more. In this format,
discipline, training and fun go hand in hand!
- Basic Obedience
This is the basic obedience class
where dogs learn to respond to requests to sit, down, stay, leave
it, stop jumping, walk on leash without wrenching out your arm or
choking themselves. Sign up for 6 sessions ($110) and then may add
another 4 sessions ($65).
- Leash Walking Plus
This is the class for anyone who
wants to polish leash walking skills. We do lots of group dog
walking, mostly outdoors. In the summertime this includes walks in
the fields and woods. For more advanced dogs, we aim to do much of
the work off leash. Basic obedience exercises are also incorporated
into this class. It is an excellent stepping stone for dogs not
quite ready for AKC CGC or more advanced dogs who want to focus on
off leash walking or just a great class for dogs who need a change
of scenery from their daily city walks.
- AKC CGC Class
This is a the class that follows
Basic Obedience and prepares dogs for the AKC CGC test as
well as hones their basic skills. Sign up for 6 sessions ($110) and
come to the ones you want. You may add another 4 sessions ($65).
Every class will include some review work and a particular topic
focus for that session. For example, one session may focus on
honing distance commands, another may focus on off leash walking,
sometimes we'll work on honing hand signals and directions.
- Agility, Games, and Tricks
This is a rolling enrollment class
for Level 1 graduates and up. Dogs who have only completed Level 1
are eligible for this class but must have their basic commands
under their belts! This class is meant to be energetic and lots of
fun. We do not focus on preparing for competitive agility. In the
summer, the focus is primarily on agility type fun and in the
winter we incorporate tricks and obedience games.
