&lt;p&gt;This course will continue building on the foundation of OCC’s Beginner class moving towards randomizing reward structure and differentiating between bribery vs rewards. Initial focus will be on transitioning perfect loose leash walking into the more formal Heel with the automatic Sit, emphasizing Halts and pace changes as well as directional turns. Integrating the process of helping your dog learn to generalize and hold longer commands, we will work on Attention Focus duration, Sit Stay durations, Down Stay durations, and the Stand (without Handler support) and work towards Handling in the Stand-Stay.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Included are the Intro into a Figure-8 exercise, perfecting the Finish, Long Line Recalls, the Greeting Exercise Game and other Learning Challenges for a fun learning experience. Heavy emphasis on preparing for the CGC-Exam, but challenging enough for the dog that has already earned his/her CGC!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Part 2 of a 2-part class. This indoor class will build on the skills learned in AGC 100 Agility 1 Foundations: Part A in teaching dog-handler teams foundational agility skills and safety. The curriculum is based on shaping behaviors through the use of positive reinforcement. Activities include start line stay, body awareness and flexibility, impulse control, introduction to contact end behavior, targeting/nose touch, directions, and handling “on the flat.” Dogs will continue to interact with equipment such as wobble board, tunnel, table, 2x2 weaves, and wing jumps (bars will be on the ground for puppies or very low for adult dogs). Dog-handler teams will begin sequencing with multiple obstacles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dogs must be fitted with a flat buckle collar and a six-foot leash. No choke, pinch, gentle leaders or corrective harnesses will be allowed. Owners need to bring lots of small, soft treats and A CRATE.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Along with proofing targeting, contact and flat work skills, the teams will begin short sequences and handling drills. While some work will be on lead, most of the course work will be off lead. Dogs must be fitted with a flat buckle collar and a six-foot leash. No choke, pinch, gentle leaders or corrective harnesses will be allowed. Please bring lots of soft treats, water, and A CRATE. Dog-handler teams should expect to repeat Agility 2 Beginner. Dogs should do teeter and navigate 6 weave poles before moving up to Agility 3.

This is an excellent class to begin your leadership skill development.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="368" data-end="761"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="368" data-end="491"&gt;Rally-O is a sport, a game, and a powerful way to strengthen your bond with your dog while sharpening obedience skills.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="368" data-end="761"&gt;In this introduction to Rally Obedience, handler-dog teams will develop the foundational skills needed to successfully navigate Rally courses. These exercises are not only fun and engaging—they also enhance communication, trust, and teamwork between you and your dog.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="763" data-end="1091"&gt;Whether you're looking to reinforce your training, prepare for competition, or just enjoy a new challenge together, Rally is an ideal complement to regular obedience classes. It builds technical ability and focus in a dynamic, supportive environment, and offers a great way to stay active and connected with your canine partner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This course is the continuation of the Obedience relationship with the addition of advanced concepts of established commands including: long-line assisted Sit- and Down-Stays with distance, long distance Attention Focus, Heel-free with automatic Sit, off-leash Figure-8s, working in crowds for a tighter Heel, off-leash Stand for Exam, Rock Solid recalls with a formal approach and working up to Sit- and Down-Stays with the Handlers leaving the ring.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This class takes it to the edge using the simple scientific concepts introduced in the Beginner and Intermediate(s) classes. Are you ready?&lt;/p&gt;

The class will focus on establishing basic behaviors and good training habits for a lifetime of learning, utilizing the separation of the 3Ds (Distraction, Duration and Distance) for learning clarity with a strong emphasis on the “Timing of the Mark” and how treats are used within established science for maximum efficacy. This is an excellent class to begin your leadership skill development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Beginner is an ideal class for preparing to obtain your CGC. Exercises include: Attention Focus, refining Loose Leash Walking (and getting ready for the next step of leash walking), Sit at the side, Down at the side, Stay, Leave It (food and objects), Wait, Handling / Sit for Exam, Stand, plus games to create a solid foundation for Come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;S.T.A.R. graduates will find that this class builds upon their excellent skills and yet challenging and informative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rally began as a series of doodles that obedience competitors used “back in the day” to warm up their dogs before competition. Over time, it grew into a fun and exciting sport of its own — blending the precision of obedience with elements of agility.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Novice Rally-O continues this tradition by completing the introduction to novice signs while building key skills such as rear-end awareness. Students will practice on both mini-maps and full maps, reinforcing the obedience foundation you’ve already worked hard for while exploring the thrilling new challenges that&amp;nbsp;rally brings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us as we spin in circles, weave through cones, and, of course, bring plenty of treats! Students must also bring their three-ring binder from Intro to Rally-O.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have taken Beginner Obedience and Intermediate, join this challenging and informative class to hone your skills and prepare you for the next level. We will play Beginner Obedience games, practice perfect CGC greetings, create flawless figure 8’s and lay a strong foundation for going off-leash with your obedience! We will go through Attention Focus in the Heel as a tool, Independent Down Stays (with duration), Stand for Exam, Wait-in-Motion, Sit-in-Motion, Down-in-Motion, and left and right side finish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This class focuses on trouble-shooting the Beginner Obedience performance as well as task-analysis to focus on repairing incomplete commands and removing inadvertent body language and leash cues that are dragging your performance down. Designed as a team-building class, all members are invited to step up their game!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This course will continue building on the foundation of OCC’s Beginner class moving towards randomizing reward structure and differentiating between bribery vs rewards. Initial focus will be on transitioning perfect loose leash walking into the more formal Heel with the automatic Sit, emphasizing Halts and pace changes as well as directional turns. Integrating the process of helping your dog learn to generalize and hold longer commands, we will work on Attention Focus duration, Sit Stay durations, Down Stay durations, and the Stand (without Handler support) and work towards Handling in the Stand-Stay.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Included are the Intro into a Figure-8 exercise, perfecting the Finish, Long Line Recalls, the Greeting Exercise Game and other Learning Challenges for a fun learning experience. Heavy emphasis on preparing for the CGC-Exam, but challenging enough for the dog that has already earned his/her CGC!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This course is designed with the Obedience Competitor in mind and will focus primarily on preparation for Companion Dog Trials. All candidates will be working primarily off-leash and must have off-leash concepts mastered. The class will set up and practice specifically for trials covering, registration, treat reduction and all concepts necessary to create well-mannered competitors. Weekly class goals will depend on the skill of the student competitors and may vary from class to class.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SKILLS REQUIRED: Super Advanced candidates must be able to demonstrate positive control of their dogs with and without the leash. The handler must be able to hold the dog’s Attention Focus for 3 minutes in the presence of distractions with the minimal use of treats; 3 minute SIT STAY away from the dog; 3 minute DOWN STAY without the presence of the handler; must be able to demonstrate a proper return and a RECALL off-leash without a long line. Strong Leave It and Wait are a must, as are STAND, FINISH, FIGURE-8 and HEEL (in an off-leash environment).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Candidates who are still mastering off-leash concepts but who demonstrate good skills in ADVANCED are welcome as long as their dog does not pose a significant risk to the dogs that are already completely off-leash. Training Tabs may be utilized. Long Lines may be used. Please bring your own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dogs at this level should already possess the Canine Good Citizen Urban award.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;For those ready to title their dogs for Novice (CD-V), this class will pace you through the steps including how to set up an obedience trial map and strategies for successful submissions. We will begin recording in Week One. Bring your phone or other device to record your own runs. Copies of the AKC Obedience Maps and Virtual Trial Regulations will be provided.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Students will be permitted to repeat this class at regular cost (no discounts) if necessary to achieve this title if they continue to meet class requirements. This class does have a waiting list so Instructor approval is required to repeat to make sure that those that are on the waiting list are enrolled before repeating teams can be enrolled. Waiting list handler teams should remain enrolled in Advanced Obedience until they are accepted into this class to maintain their dog's readiness for trialing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bring your sense of humor and good sportsmanship attitude because the Virtual Trialers are a supportive team that wants to enjoy the virtual trialing experience!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>ENS133 Behavior Clinic (Demaree Clay) (09/02/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Training is fun, training changes your relationship with your dog and training changes your dog.&amp;nbsp; But is training enough?&amp;nbsp; Do you have behavioral concerns beyond the scope of obedience exercises?&amp;nbsp; Come to this informative clinic, offered once a session to discuss relevant treatment plans to help shape your canine's behavior.&amp;nbsp; Housetraining, Stealing Objects, Counter-Cruising, Excessive Barking, Door Greetings, Jumping up, Toys and Inappropriate Chewing, are just a few of the subjects on the table.&amp;nbsp; This Clinic is purely a Q&amp;amp;A.&amp;nbsp; Your questions will be answered by our Certified Master Trainer and animal behavior expert. Attendees are not required to stay for the entire clinic once their concern has been addressed.&amp;nbsp; Come and go as you please.&amp;nbsp; This Workshop is for humans only, but dogs may attend if they remain manageable during discussions.&amp;nbsp; While we may discuss Reactivity, Human-directed Aggression and Dog-to-Dog Aggression, we regret that these dogs cannot attend the discussion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Sequences, handling skills and course work will be a major portion of this class. Emphasis will be on honing basic handling skills: front cross, rear cross, and blind cross. Higher level skills will be introduced such as: backsides, threadles, serpentines, 270's, pinwheels, boxes, and discriminations. Specific issues will be addressed as needed: lack of focus, start line woes, weave woes, contact performance, building drive, etc. Expect to work short sequences (rather than full courses). Course analysis will be introduced (what is the best strategy for handling the most common challenges). Teams should be weaving 6 poles and have contact criteria established and reasonably consistent. Students should expect to repeat this class.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Using food rewards, dogs will learn to search inside of boxes and other containers, search under objects and on top of objects, around corners and in mazes. Handlers will learn long line handling skills. No scent will be introduced in this class. Handlers will need to bring plenty of high value rewards. Dogs will need to be able to be crated.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

For those following the Choice Rally path, there are alternate exercises to keep your pup on their toes while others jump!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;This class is for dogs at least 6 months of age. The class will focus on establishing basic behaviors and good training habits for a lifetime of learning, utilizing the separation of the 3Ds (Distraction, Duration and Distance) for learning clarity with a strong emphasis on the “Timing of the Mark” and how treats are used within established science for maximum efficacy. This is an excellent class to begin your leadership skill development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Beginner is an ideal class for preparing to obtain your CGC. Exercises include: Attention Focus, refining Loose Leash Walking (and getting ready for the next step of leash walking), Sit at the side, Down at the side, Stay, Leave It (food and objects), Wait, Handling / Sit for Exam, Stand, plus games to create a solid foundation for Come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;S.T.A.R. graduates will find that this class builds upon their excellent skills and yet challenging and informative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This unique play opportunity will teach you how to "ground" your tiny dog during play and to create trust in the working partnership of you and your dog. Littles who are well grounded and have shown bravery may be asked if they would like to stay over into the Wallflowers class! We will actively discuss body language as it occurs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No females in heat, no dogs with known reactivity issues, no dogs with a history of a bite. Additionally, play time may be restricted for intact males.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please bring your own crates if you need one. This class will not have moderated entrances and exits, instead the owner will be on the floor with their dog. If you cannot sit on the floor, this class will not benefit your dog. Event Rules are available on-site. Come join this unique play experience!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Shy dogs unite! Come play with other shy dogs! Wallflowers who have shown bravery may be asked if they would like to stay over into the Adult Play class! Hopefully our Wallflowers will graduate from “Shy Play” and move up into the Adult Play Class. This class may also be appropriate for some of our smaller or younger dogs. We will actively discuss body language as it occurs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No females in heat, no dogs with known reactivity issues, no dogs with a history of a bite. Additionally, play time may be restricted for intact males.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please bring your own crates if you need one. Entrances and Exits are moderated. Event Rules are available on-site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your dog has NEVER played in a moderated group before, you are welcome to sign-up for pre-play testing to see if your dog’s skills are appropriate for group play. This testing is available by appointment times that are not necessarily on Fair Play Fridays. Contact the Instructor for testing. If your dog needs One-on-One Therapeutic play, this service is available by appointment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;**To assure valid vaccinations and to regulate the classes, all participants must be registered in order to play.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;This course will continue building on the foundation of OCC’s Beginner class moving towards randomizing reward structure and differentiating between bribery vs rewards. Initial focus will be on transitioning perfect loose leash walking into the more formal Heel with the automatic Sit, emphasizing Halts and pace changes as well as directional turns. Integrating the process of helping your dog learn to generalize and hold longer commands, we will work on Attention Focus duration, Sit Stay durations, Down Stay durations, and the Stand (without Handler support) and work towards Handling in the Stand-Stay.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Included are the Intro into a Figure-8 exercise, perfecting the Finish, Long Line Recalls, the Greeting Exercise Game and other Learning Challenges for a fun learning experience. Heavy emphasis on preparing for the CGC-Exam, but challenging enough for the dog that has already earned his/her CGC!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Part 2 of a 2-part class. This indoor class will build on the skills learned in AGC 100 Agility 1 Foundations: Part A in teaching dog-handler teams foundational agility skills and safety. The curriculum is based on shaping behaviors through the use of positive reinforcement. Activities include start line stay, body awareness and flexibility, impulse control, introduction to contact end behavior, targeting/nose touch, directions, and handling “on the flat.” Dogs will continue to interact with equipment such as wobble board, tunnel, table, 2x2 weaves, and wing jumps (bars will be on the ground for puppies or very low for adult dogs). Dog-handler teams will begin sequencing with multiple obstacles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dogs must be fitted with a flat buckle collar and a six-foot leash. No choke, pinch, gentle leaders or corrective harnesses will be allowed. Owners need to bring lots of small, soft treats and A CRATE.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Along with proofing targeting, contact and flat work skills, the teams will begin short sequences and handling drills. While some work will be on lead, most of the course work will be off lead. Dogs must be fitted with a flat buckle collar and a six-foot leash. No choke, pinch, gentle leaders or corrective harnesses will be allowed. Please bring lots of soft treats, water, and A CRATE. Dog-handler teams should expect to repeat Agility 2 Beginner. Dogs should do teeter and navigate 6 weave poles before moving up to Agility 3.

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;S.T.A.R. graduates will find that this class builds upon their excellent skills and yet challenging and informative.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="368" data-end="761"&gt;In this introduction to Rally Obedience, handler-dog teams will develop the foundational skills needed to successfully navigate Rally courses. These exercises are not only fun and engaging—they also enhance communication, trust, and teamwork between you and your dog.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="763" data-end="1091"&gt;Whether you're looking to reinforce your training, prepare for competition, or just enjoy a new challenge together, Rally is an ideal complement to regular obedience classes. It builds technical ability and focus in a dynamic, supportive environment, and offers a great way to stay active and connected with your canine partner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The class will focus on establishing basic behaviors and good training habits for a lifetime of learning, utilizing the separation of the 3Ds (Distraction, Duration and Distance) for learning clarity with a strong emphasis on the “Timing of the Mark” and how treats are used within established science for maximum efficacy. This is an excellent class to begin your leadership skill development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Beginner is an ideal class for preparing to obtain your CGC. Exercises include: Attention Focus, refining Loose Leash Walking (and getting ready for the next step of leash walking), Sit at the side, Down at the side, Stay, Leave It (food and objects), Wait, Handling / Sit for Exam, Stand, plus games to create a solid foundation for Come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;S.T.A.R. graduates will find that this class builds upon their excellent skills and yet challenging and informative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rally began as a series of doodles that obedience competitors used “back in the day” to warm up their dogs before competition. Over time, it grew into a fun and exciting sport of its own — blending the precision of obedience with elements of agility.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Novice Rally-O continues this tradition by completing the introduction to novice signs while building key skills such as rear-end awareness. Students will practice on both mini-maps and full maps, reinforcing the obedience foundation you’ve already worked hard for while exploring the thrilling new challenges that&amp;nbsp;rally brings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us as we spin in circles, weave through cones, and, of course, bring plenty of treats! Students must also bring their three-ring binder from Intro to Rally-O.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

We will go through Attention Focus in the Heel as a tool, Independent Down Stays (with duration), Stand for Exam, Wait-in-Motion, Sit-in-Motion, Down-in-Motion, and left and right side finish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This class focuses on trouble-shooting the Beginner Obedience performance as well as task-analysis to focus on repairing incomplete commands and removing inadvertent body language and leash cues that are dragging your performance down. Designed as a team-building class, all members are invited to step up their game!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This course will continue building on the foundation of OCC’s Beginner class moving towards randomizing reward structure and differentiating between bribery vs rewards. Initial focus will be on transitioning perfect loose leash walking into the more formal Heel with the automatic Sit, emphasizing Halts and pace changes as well as directional turns. Integrating the process of helping your dog learn to generalize and hold longer commands, we will work on Attention Focus duration, Sit Stay durations, Down Stay durations, and the Stand (without Handler support) and work towards Handling in the Stand-Stay.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Included are the Intro into a Figure-8 exercise, perfecting the Finish, Long Line Recalls, the Greeting Exercise Game and other Learning Challenges for a fun learning experience. Heavy emphasis on preparing for the CGC-Exam, but challenging enough for the dog that has already earned his/her CGC!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;This class is for dogs at least 6 months of age. The class will focus on establishing basic behaviors and good training habits for a lifetime of learning, utilizing the separation of the 3Ds (Distraction, Duration and Distance) for learning clarity with a strong emphasis on the “Timing of the Mark” and how treats are used within established science for maximum efficacy. This is an excellent class to begin your leadership skill development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Beginner is an ideal class for preparing to obtain your CGC. Exercises include: Attention Focus, refining Loose Leash Walking (and getting ready for the next step of leash walking), Sit at the side, Down at the side, Stay, Leave It (food and objects), Wait, Handling / Sit for Exam, Stand, plus games to create a solid foundation for Come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;S.T.A.R. graduates will find that this class builds upon their excellent skills and yet challenging and informative.&lt;/p&gt;

Sequences, handling skills and course work will be a major portion of this class. Emphasis will be on honing basic handling skills: front cross, rear cross, and blind cross. Higher level skills will be introduced such as: backsides, threadles, serpentines, 270's, pinwheels, boxes, and discriminations. Specific issues will be addressed as needed: lack of focus, start line woes, weave woes, contact performance, building drive, etc. Expect to work short sequences (rather than full courses). Course analysis will be introduced (what is the best strategy for handling the most common challenges). Teams should be weaving 6 poles and have contact criteria established and reasonably consistent. Students should expect to repeat this class.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Using food rewards, dogs will learn to search inside of boxes and other containers, search under objects and on top of objects, around corners and in mazes. Handlers will learn long line handling skills. No scent will be introduced in this class. Handlers will need to bring plenty of high value rewards. Dogs will need to be able to be crated.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Advanced Rally-O continues our Rally-O journey by reinforcing proper work strategies for level 100 signs while continuing to build key skills taught in previous Rally-O classes Students will practice on both mini-maps and full maps, reinforcing the obedience foundation you’ve already worked hard for while working off-leash and incorporating jumping strategies within a map. For those following the Choice Rally path, there are alternate exercises to keep your pup on their toes while others jump!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Join us as we leap, spin, and side-step into a higher level of fun and adventure! And of course, bring plenty of treats! Students should also bring their three-ring binder from previous Rally-O classes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;This class is for dogs at least 6 months of age. The class will focus on establishing basic behaviors and good training habits for a lifetime of learning, utilizing the separation of the 3Ds (Distraction, Duration and Distance) for learning clarity with a strong emphasis on the “Timing of the Mark” and how treats are used within established science for maximum efficacy. This is an excellent class to begin your leadership skill development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Beginner is an ideal class for preparing to obtain your CGC. Exercises include: Attention Focus, refining Loose Leash Walking (and getting ready for the next step of leash walking), Sit at the side, Down at the side, Stay, Leave It (food and objects), Wait, Handling / Sit for Exam, Stand, plus games to create a solid foundation for Come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;S.T.A.R. graduates will find that this class builds upon their excellent skills and yet challenging and informative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let your dog steal the show! AKC Trick Dog Performer (TKP) testing is your chance to showcase your dog's skills, creativity, and personality in front of a live audience while working toward your next Trick Dog title.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AKC Trick Dog is one of AKC’s most popular training programs because trick training is fun for both dogs and their trainers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tricks are behaviors that are designed to entertain others. AKC Trick Dog ranges from very simple novice tricks such as teaching your dog to get in a box on cue, to complex tricks that are several behaviors chained together in one exciting sequence. The Trick Dog Performer test confirms demonstration of at least 10 Performer tricks with at least three tricks using props.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ED1C24"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Testers are required to bring their own props.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This course will continue building on the foundation of OCC’s Beginner class moving towards randomizing reward structure and differentiating between bribery vs rewards. Initial focus will be on transitioning perfect loose leash walking into the more formal Heel with the automatic Sit, emphasizing Halts and pace changes as well as directional turns. Integrating the process of helping your dog learn to generalize and hold longer commands, we will work on Attention Focus duration, Sit Stay durations, Down Stay durations, and the Stand (without Handler support) and work towards Handling in the Stand-Stay.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Included are the Intro into a Figure-8 exercise, perfecting the Finish, Long Line Recalls, the Greeting Exercise Game and other Learning Challenges for a fun learning experience. Heavy emphasis on preparing for the CGC-Exam, but challenging enough for the dog that has already earned his/her CGC!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Part 2 of a 2-part class. This indoor class will build on the skills learned in AGC 100 Agility 1 Foundations: Part A in teaching dog-handler teams foundational agility skills and safety. The curriculum is based on shaping behaviors through the use of positive reinforcement. Activities include start line stay, body awareness and flexibility, impulse control, introduction to contact end behavior, targeting/nose touch, directions, and handling “on the flat.” Dogs will continue to interact with equipment such as wobble board, tunnel, table, 2x2 weaves, and wing jumps (bars will be on the ground for puppies or very low for adult dogs). Dog-handler teams will begin sequencing with multiple obstacles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dogs must be fitted with a flat buckle collar and a six-foot leash. No choke, pinch, gentle leaders or corrective harnesses will be allowed. Owners need to bring lots of small, soft treats and A CRATE.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Discussion Forum (09/14/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We are inviting you to a Discussion Forum to help OCC better understand your experience in Beginner Obedience – what you were happy with, what worked well for you, and what concerns or challenges you may have had.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day: Monday, September 14, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time: 6:30pm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where: OCC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We want you to feel comfortable speaking openly and honestly. For that reason, Beginner Obedience instructors will not be present. This is your opportunity to speak directly with the OCC Board of Directors and Board Consultant and share your experience in a relaxed, open setting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your feedback will help us identify what we are doing well and where we can make improvements to better serve our students and their dogs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And because good conversation is always better with food, we’ll provide pizza for everyone!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ED1C24"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please RSVP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; so we know how much pizza to order for everyone planning at attend:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We hope you’ll join us. Your experience and perspective are important to us!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;This class is for dogs at least 6 months of age. The class will focus on establishing basic behaviors and good training habits for a lifetime of learning, utilizing the separation of the 3Ds (Distraction, Duration and Distance) for learning clarity with a strong emphasis on the “Timing of the Mark” and how treats are used within established science for maximum efficacy. This is an excellent class to begin your leadership skill development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Beginner is an ideal class for preparing to obtain your CGC. Exercises include: Attention Focus, refining Loose Leash Walking (and getting ready for the next step of leash walking), Sit at the side, Down at the side, Stay, Leave It (food and objects), Wait, Handling / Sit for Exam, Stand, plus games to create a solid foundation for Come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;S.T.A.R. graduates will find that this class builds upon their excellent skills and yet challenging and informative.&lt;/p&gt;

Sequences, handling skills and course work will be a major portion of this class. Emphasis will be on honing basic handling skills: front cross, rear cross, and blind cross. Higher level skills will be introduced such as: backsides, threadles, serpentines, 270's, pinwheels, boxes, and discriminations. Specific issues will be addressed as needed: lack of focus, start line woes, weave woes, contact performance, building drive, etc. Expect to work short sequences (rather than full courses). Course analysis will be introduced (what is the best strategy for handling the most common challenges). Teams should be weaving 6 poles and have contact criteria established and reasonably consistent. Students should expect to repeat this class.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This course is designed with the Obedience Competitor in mind and will focus primarily on preparation for Companion Dog Trials. All candidates will be working primarily off-leash and must have off-leash concepts mastered. The class will set up and practice specifically for trials covering, registration, treat reduction and all concepts necessary to create well-mannered competitors. Weekly class goals will depend on the skill of the student competitors and may vary from class to class.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SKILLS REQUIRED: Super Advanced candidates must be able to demonstrate positive control of their dogs with and without the leash. The handler must be able to hold the dog’s Attention Focus for 3 minutes in the presence of distractions with the minimal use of treats; 3 minute SIT STAY away from the dog; 3 minute DOWN STAY without the presence of the handler; must be able to demonstrate a proper return and a RECALL off-leash without a long line. Strong Leave It and Wait are a must, as are STAND, FINISH, FIGURE-8 and HEEL (in an off-leash environment).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Candidates who are still mastering off-leash concepts but who demonstrate good skills in ADVANCED are welcome as long as their dog does not pose a significant risk to the dogs that are already completely off-leash. Training Tabs may be utilized. Long Lines may be used. Please bring your own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dogs at this level should already possess the Canine Good Citizen Urban award.&lt;/p&gt;

Would you like to try your hand at testing your sign skills or get in extra practice? This workshop is for any student who has completed Novice Rally-O and would like to try their hand at running maps. If you are wanting to continue to bond with your dog and make sure you have your skills down before going to Rally-O Intermediate, this workshop is for you too!&amp;nbsp;If you are thinking about trialing, virtually or live, and would like to see how you're doing, this workshop is for you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" color="#333333"&gt;Non-trialers and trialers alike will receive valuable input from knowledgeable Rally Instructors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;You'll be able to run each map multiple times and ask questions as you go. If there are any skills that need polishing, you'll find out what they are and receive advice on how to polish them. Bring your sign notebook that you've accumulated from Intro to Rally-O and Novice Rally-O, lots of treats and enthusiasm. This no-pressure skill review workshop with full maps will be great fun for humans and dogs alike!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description>

It is to aid Beginner students who would like an opportunity to hone skills taught in their Beginner Obedience class. We will continue to focus on "Timing of the Mark" and utilizing the 5D's effectively to improve the skills taught in Beginner Obedience to aid your pup to start off with their best paw forward if you are repeating Beginner or need extra foundational work before starting Intermediate Obedience. Skills reviewed will vary depending on the students. While certain skills such as "Loose Leash Walking" will be reviewed every class, other skills reviewed will be dependent on the students' needs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;This three-week workshop helps handlers and their dogs build the skills needed for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test, with a gentle introduction to CGC-Advanced (CGCA) exercises. Teams will practice walking skills, greetings with strangers, recalls, working around other dogs, supervised separation, and more. Instructors will highlight strengths, identify areas for improvement, and guide students on what’s required for CGC/CGCA testing. Preparation is key—bring plenty of treats to set your pup up for success as you work toward true canine good citizenry!&lt;br&gt;</description>

    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The objective of Freestyle Dogwork is to show the dog/handler team's working relationship, share the joy of training, and present the dog to his/her best advantage. In this two-day workshop, we'll achieve this by learning to recognize the most beautiful of our dog's attributes and by learning to blend those into a logical movement piece, accompanied by music, that is a pleasure for spectators to watch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We spend time on the techniques of training movement, but just as importantly, we teach the concepts that help you to create (choreograph) a movement piece while handling your dog in a way that enhances every motion. This workshop builds teamwork like no other! Dogs should have basic obedience skills such as heel, stay, come, sit, and down. Skills need not be advanced. The best work will be done off-lead, but dogs can stay on lead if necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This workshop is the equivalent of completing the beginners' class and will qualify you to join the Sunday afternoon workshops that prepare us for titling events. After these two days of work and fun, you will have the skills to choreograph a performance for Levels I or II.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The objective of Freestyle Dogwork is to show the dog/handler team's working relationship, share the joy of training, and present the dog to his/her best advantage. In this two-day workshop, we'll achieve this by learning to recognize the most beautiful of our dog's attributes and by learning to blend those into a logical movement piece, accompanied by music, that is a pleasure for spectators to watch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We spend time on the techniques of training movement, but just as importantly, we teach the concepts that help you to create (choreograph) a movement piece while handling your dog in a way that enhances every motion. This workshop builds teamwork like no other! Dogs should have basic obedience skills such as heel, stay, come, sit, and down. Skills need not be advanced. The best work will be done off-lead, but dogs can stay on lead if necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This workshop is the equivalent of completing the beginners' class and will qualify you to join the Sunday afternoon workshops that prepare us for titling events. After these two days of work and fun, you will have the skills to choreograph a performance for Levels I or II.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

It is to aid Beginner students who would like an opportunity to hone skills taught in their Beginner Obedience class. We will continue to focus on "Timing of the Mark" and utilizing the 5D's effectively to improve the skills taught in Beginner Obedience to aid your pup to start off with their best paw forward if you are repeating Beginner or need extra foundational work before starting Intermediate Obedience. Skills reviewed will vary depending on the students. While certain skills such as "Loose Leash Walking" will be reviewed every class, other skills reviewed will be dependent on the students' needs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portable Operant Research Training Lab (PORTL) is much like the demonstration game in Orientation. A PORTL event is two individuals, one acting as the "trainer" and one acting as the student working together to create a structure using only a clicker. You will learn how to communicate quickly and efficiently with your canine companion during your training time. WARNING: THIS GAME IS ADDICTIVE! There are many levels of PORTL. Most who have experienced this learning event want to do it again...and again...to strengthen and streamline their communication with their dogs and maximize training time. What should you bring? Nothing, everything will be provided. Just come ready to have fun and learn!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;This three-week workshop helps handlers and their dogs build the skills needed for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test, with a gentle introduction to CGC-Advanced (CGCA) exercises. Teams will practice walking skills, greetings with strangers, recalls, working around other dogs, supervised separation, and more. Instructors will highlight strengths, identify areas for improvement, and guide students on what’s required for CGC/CGCA testing. Preparation is key—bring plenty of treats to set your pup up for success as you work toward true canine good citizenry!&lt;br&gt;</description>

Are you aware that most dogs need a nail trim every 3 weeks?

There will be visual references in the first portion of this clinic as well as a discussion on the importance of short nails.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Complimentary nail trims on agreeable dogs will be offered to help you learn. Bring your dog. Bring treats. Sometimes it can be a process!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It is to aid Beginner students who would like an opportunity to hone skills taught in their Beginner Obedience class. We will continue to focus on "Timing of the Mark" and utilizing the 5D's effectively to improve the skills taught in Beginner Obedience to aid your pup to start off with their best paw forward if you are repeating Beginner or need extra foundational work before starting Intermediate Obedience. Skills reviewed will vary depending on the students. While certain skills such as "Loose Leash Walking" will be reviewed every class, other skills reviewed will be dependent on the students' needs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;This three-week workshop helps handlers and their dogs build the skills needed for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test, with a gentle introduction to CGC-Advanced (CGCA) exercises. Teams will practice walking skills, greetings with strangers, recalls, working around other dogs, supervised separation, and more. Instructors will highlight strengths, identify areas for improvement, and guide students on what’s required for CGC/CGCA testing. Preparation is key—bring plenty of treats to set your pup up for success as you work toward true canine good citizenry!&lt;br&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Rally-O is designed for the individual looking for another way to strengthen your teamwork and bond with your dog. Rally-O is an excellent way to reinforce basic obedience skills such as sit, down, stay, heel and recall all while having fun and building your relationship as a team. This workshop is designed for you and your dog to have the opportunity to try your hand at the Novice level of Rally-O.&amp;nbsp; Who knows, your competitive side may become addicted. Follow the signs that will take you through a course of beginner obedience skills and learn how our dogs follow how we communicate (physical and verbal) through the course.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bring a variety of good treats. Some dogs may need to be crated for short periods of time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let your dog steal the show! AKC Trick Dog Elite Performer (TKE) testing is your chance to showcase your dog's skills, creativity, and personality in front of a live audience while working toward your next Trick Dog title.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AKC Trick Dog is one of AKC’s most popular training programs because trick training is fun for both dogs and their trainers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tricks are behaviors that are designed to entertain others. AKC Trick Dog ranges from very simple novice tricks such as teaching your dog to get in a box on cue, to complex tricks that are several behaviors chained together in one exciting sequence. The Trick Dog Elite Performer test confirms demonstration of a routine that has a story/script, using at least five props.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ED1C24"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Testers are required to bring their own props.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testing will be held between the Membership Meeting and the Board Meeting. Because timing is important, a registration code is required. Please contact the Training Director to obtain a code and schedule your performance time. We look forward to watching you and your dog perform!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;The CGC Program is a two-part program that is designed to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Teach responsible dog ownership to owners&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Certify dogs that have the training and behaviors needed to be reliable, well-behaved members of their families and communities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dogs who pass the CGC test have demonstrated they are under good control and are safe around people and other dogs. The purpose of the CGC Program is to ensure that our favorite companion, the dog, can be a respected member of the community because it has been trained to be well behaved in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CGC, CGCA, TKN, and TKI testing are typically scheduled together in a single session. If the test you are interested in is full please continue to register for that test and join the waitlist. Capacities between the tests in a single session may be adjusted to accommodate the specific tests people have registered for.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testing begins at&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong data-start="267" data-end="278"&gt;4:00 PM&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and will continue until all participants present have completed testing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Participants should plan to be checked in and ready to test at the 4:00 PM start time&lt;/strong&gt;. Because the total testing time depends on attendance and test types, arrivals after 4:00 PM may limit testing availability.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

That’s what our Placement Test is for! Our evaluator will walk you and your dog through a few simple exercises to gauge their current training level, focus, and confidence, and help determine which OCC class is the best fit.

&lt;p data-start="485" data-end="515"&gt;Why take a Placement Test?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul data-start="516" data-end="704"&gt;
  &lt;li data-start="516" data-end="584"&gt;
    &lt;p data-start="518" data-end="584"&gt;Ensures your dog is in the &lt;span data-start="545" data-end="582"&gt;right class for their skill level&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li data-start="585" data-end="629"&gt;
    &lt;p data-start="587" data-end="629"&gt;Sets you both up for &lt;span data-start="608" data-end="627"&gt;success and fun&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li data-start="630" data-end="704"&gt;
    &lt;p data-start="632" data-end="704"&gt;Saves time and frustration (no jumping ahead or getting stuck behind!)&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p data-start="706" data-end="855"&gt;It’s not about passing or failing—it’s about finding the perfect spot so you and your furry friend can make the most of your training journey.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="706" data-end="855"&gt;Contact the Training Director at training@occdogtraining.org for registration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Performance and Elite Performance titles require tricks done in a scripted sequence and this class will help you prepare for that. Anyone can attend but the class will be geared to those pursuing Performance and Elite Performance titles. At least five performer level tricks will be introduced in addition to crafting a story. Taught by a Certified Trick Evaluator.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000"&gt;Students are not required to have trick titles but it is recommended that they have a solid background of tricks to join this class. Students will be given the tools to train their dogs with at least 5 tricks. Students are recommended to bring a toy their dog likes (but not their favorite toy) and lots of different treats!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This unique play opportunity will teach you how to "ground" your tiny dog during play and to create trust in the working partnership of you and your dog. Littles who are well grounded and have shown bravery may be asked if they would like to stay over into the Wallflowers class! We will actively discuss body language as it occurs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No females in heat, no dogs with known reactivity issues, no dogs with a history of a bite. Additionally, play time may be restricted for intact males.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please bring your own crates if you need one. This class will not have moderated entrances and exits, instead the owner will be on the floor with their dog. If you cannot sit on the floor, this class will not benefit your dog. Event Rules are available on-site. Come join this unique play experience!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Shy dogs unite! Come play with other shy dogs! Wallflowers who have shown bravery may be asked if they would like to stay over into the Adult Play class! Hopefully our Wallflowers will graduate from “Shy Play” and move up into the Adult Play Class. This class may also be appropriate for some of our smaller or younger dogs. We will actively discuss body language as it occurs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No females in heat, no dogs with known reactivity issues, no dogs with a history of a bite. Additionally, play time may be restricted for intact males.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please bring your own crates if you need one. Entrances and Exits are moderated. Event Rules are available on-site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your dog has NEVER played in a moderated group before, you are welcome to sign-up for pre-play testing to see if your dog’s skills are appropriate for group play. This testing is available by appointment times that are not necessarily on Fair Play Fridays. Contact the Instructor for testing. If your dog needs One-on-One Therapeutic play, this service is available by appointment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;**To assure valid vaccinations and to regulate the classes, all participants must be registered in order to play.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let your dog steal the show! AKC Trick Dog Elite Performer (TKE) testing is your chance to showcase your dog's skills, creativity, and personality in front of a live audience while working toward your next Trick Dog title.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AKC Trick Dog is one of AKC’s most popular training programs because trick training is fun for both dogs and their trainers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tricks are behaviors that are designed to entertain others. AKC Trick Dog ranges from very simple novice tricks such as teaching your dog to get in a box on cue, to complex tricks that are several behaviors chained together in one exciting sequence. The Trick Dog Elite Performer test confirms demonstration of a routine that has a story/script, using at least five props.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ED1C24"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Testers are required to bring their own props.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testing will be held between the Membership Meeting and the Board Meeting. Because timing is important, a registration code is required. Please contact the Training Director to obtain a code and schedule your performance time. We look forward to watching you and your dog perform!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>ENS133 Behavior Clinic (Demaree Clay) (11/18/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Training is fun, training changes your relationship with your dog and training changes your dog.&amp;nbsp; But is training enough?&amp;nbsp; Do you have behavioral concerns beyond the scope of obedience exercises?&amp;nbsp; Come to this informative clinic, offered once a session to discuss relevant treatment plans to help shape your canine's behavior.&amp;nbsp; Housetraining, Stealing Objects, Counter-Cruising, Excessive Barking, Door Greetings, Jumping up, Toys and Inappropriate Chewing, are just a few of the subjects on the table.&amp;nbsp; This Clinic is purely a Q&amp;amp;A.&amp;nbsp; Your questions will be answered by our Certified Master Trainer and animal behavior expert. Attendees are not required to stay for the entire clinic once their concern has been addressed.&amp;nbsp; Come and go as you please.&amp;nbsp; This Workshop is for humans only, but dogs may attend if they remain manageable during discussions.&amp;nbsp; While we may discuss Reactivity, Human-directed Aggression and Dog-to-Dog Aggression, we regret that these dogs cannot attend the discussion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This unique play opportunity will teach you how to "ground" your tiny dog during play and to create trust in the working partnership of you and your dog. Littles who are well grounded and have shown bravery may be asked if they would like to stay over into the Wallflowers class! We will actively discuss body language as it occurs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No females in heat, no dogs with known reactivity issues, no dogs with a history of a bite. Additionally, play time may be restricted for intact males.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please bring your own crates if you need one. This class will not have moderated entrances and exits, instead the owner will be on the floor with their dog. If you cannot sit on the floor, this class will not benefit your dog. Event Rules are available on-site. Come join this unique play experience!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Shy dogs unite! Come play with other shy dogs! Wallflowers who have shown bravery may be asked if they would like to stay over into the Adult Play class! Hopefully our Wallflowers will graduate from “Shy Play” and move up into the Adult Play Class. This class may also be appropriate for some of our smaller or younger dogs. We will actively discuss body language as it occurs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No females in heat, no dogs with known reactivity issues, no dogs with a history of a bite. Additionally, play time may be restricted for intact males.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please bring your own crates if you need one. Entrances and Exits are moderated. Event Rules are available on-site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your dog has NEVER played in a moderated group before, you are welcome to sign-up for pre-play testing to see if your dog’s skills are appropriate for group play. This testing is available by appointment times that are not necessarily on Fair Play Fridays. Contact the Instructor for testing. If your dog needs One-on-One Therapeutic play, this service is available by appointment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;**To assure valid vaccinations and to regulate the classes, all participants must be registered in order to play.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
