Classroom Training - Level Two                  8 weeks     $150
Perfect on and off leash obedience and begin learning jumping skills.

Prerequisite:  Successful Completion of Basic Training

Off-lead work is polished and perfected.  Your dog learns to heel off-leash as well as come when called despite distractions.  Sit/Stay and Down/Stay commands are performed with the owners out of sight of the dogs.  Of course, distractions become more challenging too, because cats, food and many other temptiong offerings are used to entice your dog.

Classroom Training - Level Five                  8 weeks     $150
Advanced Training "PiSquared"

 Prerequisite:  Successful Completion of Clasroom Level Three

Success at the Intermediate Level qualifies your dog to enter our top advanced level of training known as the PiSquared Class.   Our "tongue in cheek" name for the "top advanced level".  This level has evolved into a "continuing education" course for those students who simply cannot get enough dog training.  In other words, you can continue training with the same group of people for as long as you desire.  There are always new things to learn and new challenges in every session.

PiSquared Level members celebrate the Christmas season with an annual Christmas party (all PiSquared dogs are invited).  They also participate in parades and exhibitions for schools and community associations to demonstrate their skills and illustrate the advantages and joys of sharing their lives with a "Canine Good Citizen".

The Pi Squared Level Orientation has now become known as the "Pizza PiSquared Orientation" because the groups have decided to meet at a local pizza parlor for the orientation class. 

     At the end of the training year (May) all of the PiSquared classes compete in the "Annual PiSquared Olympics" in various Obedience and Agility competitions while enjoying an outdoor BBQ.  Prizes are awarded for the top scores in each category.  The dog with the best overall scores is awarded the "Top Dog Of The Year" trophy.  The Pi Squared Level has grown into a group of people who consider themselves friends and are always happy to accept new friends into "the club".

Why is the CGC Certificate Important to You?

Some therapy dog groups require passing the CGC Test as a prerequisite

        1.    Some insurance companies recommend CGC training 

        2.    An increasing number of apartments and condos are requiring CGC training for resident dogs

        3.    Police departments and courts recognize the CGC certificate as evidence of responsible ownership

               Our Trainer is a certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator .  Our Canine Good Citizens classroom 
               course will teach the skills required to pass the Canine Good Citizen's Test.  Graduation exercises for this
               class will be conducted in the form of a Canine Good Citizen's test.  If a dog and handler passes the test,
               the Trainer will  award them a qualifying score and the AKC paperwork to allow them to apply for the CGC 
               certificate from the American Kennel Club.

Flyball/Treibball

Add to Cart

Flyball/Treibball Course     8 weeks     $150
This course teaches the exciting and challenging skills of Flyball and Treibball

Flyball: 

Flyball is a dog relay race in which dogs jump over a series of hurdles, trigger a spring-loaded box to release a tennis ball and return over the hurdles.

The dogs are divided into teams and each team competes for the "best time".  If your dog is active and energetic, this is a great way for him to burn energy while learning a fun interactive dog sport.  Dog's love this exciting sport which builds confidence and enthusiasm.

Treibball

Treibbal is the hot new dog sport which combines "hockey", "soccer" and "herding" skills.  The dogs learn to "herd" giant balls through goal posts by pushing them with their nose, feet or body.  The dogs are divided into teams and each team gets an allotted time to make "goals".

The team with the highest number of "goals" is the winner.

Puppy Clinic

Add to Cart

The Puppy Clinic                                1 In-Home Visit      $125
A Very Special In-Home Program

Who Should Participate?

Our Puppy Clinic is for puppies between 2 and 5 months of age.  This is an extremely important time in your puppy's life when good habits are easy to establish and bad habits are easily corrected.

What You Will Learn:
You will learn how to:
*Establish a relationship of mutual respect
*Head off bad habits such as jumping  - hand biting - chewing - housebreaking before they become adult problems!
*Deal with problems between your children and your puppy
*Socialize your puppy so he develops into a confident adult
*Cure bad habits and teach good manners
*Walk on a leash without pulling
*Come when he or she is called

The Clinic consists of:
A private, hands-on, in-home puppy class with our professional trainer to demonstrate proper training methods. Our Trainer works with you and your puppy, in the quiet atmosphere of your own home, to perfect your training skills and give you personal advise about YOUR DOG.

Why An In-Home Puppy Clinic Rather Than "Puppy Classes"?
Puppy "training" classes may make lots of money for trainers but usually accomplish very little in the way of "training" your puppy.

Young puppies have a limited attention span and are easily distracted.  They are better served by learning in the quiet atmosphere of their own home.  Puppy classes usually amount to little more than "play time". We teach you all of the techniques to get you off to a good start with your puppy and we concentrate our attention on your individual dog. We believe this provides you with expert personal advise without wasting your time or money.  

When Should I Start Formal Adult Training?
When your puppy is 5 months or older he or she will be ready for regular Obedience Training.  Before that age your puppy can easily become frightened or confused by adult training.  This will slow down his progress and damage the relationship of trust that you wish to achieve.  The skills you learn in the Puppy Clinic will head off behavior problems and teach simple skills that will make your puppy controllable and well-mannered without cutting short his "puppyhood".

What Can My Dog Learn in The Future?
Establishment Dog  Training, Ltd. offers 4 levels of training beyond Basic Obedience. We can teach your dog to carry your groceries, find your lost keys, run through tunnels, climb over obstacles, jump through hoops, retrieve, roll over, play dead, take a bow, obey silent signals, crawl, walk a catwalk and other fun skills. Once you have graduated from Basic Training, you may continue training to transform your dog into a "Super Dog".​

Important
Why We Recommend That You Start With
"​In-Home Training Program One"
​Training Now!

Unless you are confident and certain about which In-Home Program to select, In-Home Training Program One (Described Below As "TRAINING NOW!") is recommended for the following reasons:

FIRST OF ALL
Despite the fact that most dog owners feel that their dog's behavior problems require significant or extended training, they are often surprised that we consider the problem easier to resolve.  The problem is that the dog owner simply does not understand the techniques for resolving those problem.  By approaching In-Home Training a step at a time
(beginning with In-Home Training Program One), you will save yourself a lot of time and money.

​SECONDLY
​The first In-Home Training Session gives you the opportunity to meet the trainer and gives the trainer the opportunity to meet you and your dog where the problem behavior is taking place.  During this all-important first visit, you and the trainer will be able to get a clearer understanding as to whether or not additional training is appropriate.  The decision to pursue additional In-Home Training is entirely yours.

​LASTLY
​If you decide to enroll in a larger program (such as the 4 visit, 6 visit or 8 visit program), the tuition that you have paid for the "Training Now!" visit will be applied to the tuition charge for the larger program AND the "Training Now!" In-Home Training visit will be considered the first visit of the larger program.  In other words, if you were to chose
In-Home Program Two (4 visit program), the payment of $150 for the "Training Now" visit will be deducted from the tuition for 4 visit program.

​ALSO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
​Additional In-Home Training Visits are not charged at $150 per visit.  You will notice that the more In-Home Training Visits, the less costly it is per visit.  For instance, the 8 visit program is NOT 8 X $150 or $1,200 ​but rather $825.

We also customize programs that may include a number of visits not listed in the programs presented below.

In-Home Training Program Two               4 Visits     $525    ($75 off regular price of $600)
The mini-basic-training course / Developing Control

his course was designed to meet any of the 3 following purposes:

Its first purpose focuses on resolving significant in-home behavior problems in dogs over five months old.  These chronic problems develop over a period of time during which the dog's behavior has gone "unchecked" and requires more attention than a single in-home visit can provide.

Its second purpose is as a "Mini-Basic Training Course" for people anxious to start working with their dog and want to get a head-start with some Basic Training Techniques.   Finally, it is also used by people who want "some training" but do not want the full In-Home Basic Training Course.  

 This course teaches the following commands and skills. (On-Leash Training Only):  Walking On A Leash (without pulling), Coming When Called, Sitting and Staying, Laying Down and Staying, General Manners.

In-Home Training Program Seven         4 weeks      $400
Perfecting Handling and Performance for Dog Show Obedience Competition

Perfecting Handling and Performance for Dog Show Obedience Competition.
A four week in-home course.

AKC Obedience Trials have stringent rules that apply to both you and your dog.  These include: the number and type of commands that can be given, proper heel position, your body movements and handling of your dog between exercises. These impact the likelihood of sucess in earning the coveted CD, CDX  or UD titles.

We can familiarize you with up-to-date AKC rules, evaluate your dog's performance and help you to clean up those problems that lose points in the ring.  We will also evaluate your handling to help you and your dog to become a great working team that will "take home the ribbons".

NOTE: Dogs must be trained in all Basic Obedience work including:  Heeling on and off leash, Figure 8 on lead, Recall, Finish, one minute Sit-Stay, three minute Down Stay.  Dogs that have not yet mastered these skills should consider enrolling in our Basic Obedience Course.

Training For CDX or UD Competition also requires that the dog be previously trained in the skills required for these competitions.  Dogs that have not yet mastered these skills should consider enrolling in our Advanced Obedience Courses.

AKC Obedience Trials Too Boring?
A five week in-home course.

        Learn Rally-O Training for a more natural training experience.  This is a five week In-Home Rally-O Training for fun and competition.

       Rally-O is a new training competition for those that feel that the stringent AKC Obedience Trials are too formal and stiff.  Rally-O combines Basic Obedience with natural movement.  The handler is allowed to speak to his dog throughout the performance and may use hand signals and natural body movements to communicate.

       Each Rally course is unique.  The handler and dog navigates a course marked with printed signs that tell them which skill to perform.  Unlike an AKC obedience trial, each course combines a new set of Basic Obedience skills in constantly varying order.  If your dog is bored with AKC obedience or you are looking for a more challenging experience to sharpen your dog's skills, Rally-O may be just what you are looking for.
