Next Registration Night:

TBA

Current classes are in full swing, For information on the next set of classes (March-April) contact the appropriate person under each link.

KAOS Dogsports teaches a variety of classes throughout the year, but not all classes listed are held in each session.  Sessions run for 7 weeks, with Foundation Training Level 1 being taught in every session.  Some sessions alternate between classes such as Puppy Kindergarten and Canine Fun 101, however there are also classes that are offered three times in one session as with Level 1 Foundation Training classes.

Classes are filled from waiting lists from other classes first.  For example, if a student starts in Puppy Kindergarten or Level 1 Foundation, their name is kept for the next level and the classes are filled from there.  Instructors recommend where they should go to next, including when they are ready to go on to another dogsport such as agiltiy or flyball.

Classes are pre-registered via email or telephone. 

Those who have contacted KAOS may not necessarily be in a class this set, please be sure you have received a confirmation about your spot in class before attending Registration Night.

OBEDIENCE

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.
