Developed by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) based on
input from both dog owners and non-dog owners, shelter workers, and
professional dog trainers, C.L.A.S.S. benefits pet owners, dogs, and everyone
in the community!
The three levels of the program are named after human university
degree programs: the B.A. for Dogs™ (Bachelor’s level), the M.A. for Dogs™
(Master’s level), and the Ph.D. for Dogs™ (Doctorate level). The skills in each
level vary in the level of difficulty and distractions. For example, at the
B.A. level, we allow the use of treats as rewards after the completion of an
exercise, and some of the “real life” skills that are assessed are waiting at
the door, drop it, and settle. In the M.A. level, dogs are asked to walk past
several dogs of different sizes, breeds and genders, to wait in the car before
exiting, and to allow the student to handle various parts of their body. And in
the Ph.D. level, students must carry everyday objects such as a cardboard box
or paper sack while walking their dogs on a loose leash, ask their dogs to back
up, and have their dog demonstrate table manners during a simulated dinner
session. Each level also allows for two “bonus rounds” that students may elect
to try or not with their dog.
We offer 6 classes for each level at $125.00 or 8 classes at $150.00 January NATIONAL TRAIN YOUR DOG MONTH Special $99.00/$120 for all the level one options or retake any class to master the learning.
