Conformation - "Conformation Bootcamp"

This is not a drop in class. Your registration in this class guarantees your weekly participation in a limited registration class. The focus of this class will be helping you to show your dog in the most complimentary manner. Instruction will include activities that will:

• Develop your confidence in your ability to show your dog competently;
• Increase your awareness of how your handling helps and/or hinders your dog
• Build a personal repertoire of techniques for different situations;
• Help you extend your dog's attention span; and,
• Introduce techniques designed to help your dog enjoy the conformation ring.

Flyball - "Intermediate Flyball Class"

This is an introductory class to the sport of flyball. It includes some high energy exercises as well as obedience elements designed to build you dog's focus and motivation.

Obedience - "Puppy Kindergarten"

This is where it all begins.  Puppies between the ages of 8 to 16 weeks when the class begins are introduced to a variety of games, sights and sounds, as well as basic commands of sit, down, wait, take it and leave it and walk nicely on a loose leash.  Most importantly they are socialized with other puppies in a supervised environment.  From Puppy Kindergarten, your puppy may go on to Level 1 Foundation Training and/or Canine Fun 101.

Obedience - "Canine Fun 101"

This class is an introduction to all that we do with our own dogs.  The class is divided into working stations with foundation obedience being one of the stations every week.  Other stations include how to play, learning to jump, rear end awareness, tunnels, barrels, targeting and some introductory skills used for flyball and disc.  Most dogs and handlers benefit from having Foundation Level 1 first, but some can go into this class with prior training elsewhere or with an experienced handler.

Obedience - "Level 1 Foundation Training"

Open to all ages, all breeds.  Building a strong foundation with your dog is like building a house.  Without a strong foundation, the house would soon crumble, so foundation training is important for the family pet, as well as the dog that will go into other dog sports such as flyball, agility, Rally-O and conformation.  Basics are sit, down, stay, come when called and learning the heel position.  This class is a pre-requisite for every other class that KAOS offers.  This is the class that will start to create a bond between dog and handler that is more than just a collar and leash.

Obedience - "Level 2 Continue to Train"

This class raises the bar in what is expected from you as a handler and what you as the handler expect from your dog.  Class includes better recalls, long stays, intro to exercises that will lead to competitive obedience, Rally-O, and an all around better behaved pet in your home.

Obedience - "Beginner Rally-O"

Dogs and handlers are introduced to the exercises and how to use those exercises to execute the signs for the sport of Rally-O.   Rules of the game are taught and most can enter a Rally-O trial at the Novice level at the completion of the class.

Obedience - "Advanced Rally-O"

Offered to those students who have completed Beginner Rally-O.  Most students have competed at the Novice level and are ready to go on, but competition is not a must if the student just wants to learn the advanced signs and exercises.  All Advanced exercises are taught off leash.

Obedience - "Members' Rally-O Working Group"
