Day/Time:	Sundays 1:00-3:00PM (6 sessions at 120 minutes/session)
Capacity:	6 handler/dog pairs

Semester: 2026-S5

Track: Obedience

Type: Class

This beginner class starts the foundation of teamwork between handler and dog! Dogs should have basic obedience skills such as heel, stay, come, sit, and down. Skills need not be advanced as we are just building beginner foundations. We spend time on the techniques of training movement, but just as important, we teach the concepts that help you to create a movement piece while handling your dog in a way that enhances every motion. 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 six 2-hour long classes we'll achieve this by learning to recognize the most beautiful of our dogs' attributes and by learning to blend those into a logical movement piece, accompanied with music, that is a pleasure for spectators to watch.

Please note: This class will not meet on Sunday, November 1. Please check dates carefully.

RCC100 Reactivity Beginner (Demaree Clay) (11/07/2026)

Prerequisites: By instructor invitation only, 1+ year old dogs

Instructor:	Demaree Clay
Assistants:
Day/Time:	Saturdays roughly 1:30-3:30PM (3 sessions at 90-120 minutes/session)
Capacity:	at judgement of instructor

Semester: 2026-S5

Track: Reactivity

Type: Class

BY INSTRUCTOR INVITATION ONLY. This class requires a registration code to register. Student-dog teams must be referred by a current OCC Instructor. Please contact your instructor or training@occdogtraining.org for more information and an evaluation form. An Evaluation form will be provided and must be filled out prior to acceptance into the class.

Due to the highly specialized skills the class requires, there is a class charge is $180.00. No discounts can be used. If volunteer hours are utilized 8 hours will result in a $50 discount off the class price. This class is for dogs who are reactive (displaying aggressive or noisy displays towards other dogs) while on leash. Dogs must not be uncontrollable nor have a bite history. This session includes one group orientation (humans only) and three counter-conditioning and desensitization sessions set by appointment times - the first appointments will be right after the orientation. The reactive dogs will never be in the same room together and care will be taken to ensure no accidental sight-lines to other dogs during these session times. Enrolled dogs will be kept in secured vehicles until it is their turn to work. Appointment times should only be on the days that the class is scheduled. Enrolled students should take the time to observe other student's sessions to get the most out of the instruction offered. True aggression will not be covered in these sessions.

Payment will not be accepted until the Instructor has received and read each team's Evaluation form. On the first session, the Orientation will run an hour and appointment times will start after a short break. On the other two class days, appointments will be between 1:30pm and 3:30pm. The “classes” will focus on shaping a new behavior to the dog’s trigger and then flirting with each dog’s threshold while teaching the dog to control space with negotiation language (instead of confrontation language) creating a controlled and restrained response. This class is intensive in instruction and action.

Type: Test

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.

AKC Trick Dog is one of AKC’s most popular training programs because trick training is fun for both dogs and their trainers.

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.

Testers are required to bring their own props.

For more information, please visit the AKC website.

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!

Wed, 18 Nov 2026 23:30:00 GMT

Training is fun, training changes your relationship with your dog and training changes your dog. But is training enough? Do you have behavioral concerns beyond the scope of obedience exercises? Come to this informative clinic, offered once a session to discuss relevant treatment plans to help shape your canine's behavior. 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. This Clinic is purely a Q&A. 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. Come and go as you please. This Workshop is for humans only, but dogs may attend if they remain manageable during discussions. While we may discuss Reactivity, Human-directed Aggression and Dog-to-Dog Aggression, we regret that these dogs cannot attend the discussion.
