Pet Therapy Prep Class

So you think your dog has the right temperament for being a therapy dog? This class will be able to answer all your questions. KENRO offers a class designed just to work on things a therapy dog needs to be successful. Keeping in mind that temperament is something that cannot be taught, this class will help you get a handle on what is required for your dog to be a therapy dog. This class will prepare you for what need to work on when you decide to take a therapy dog evaluation. The class will include 7 weeks of instruction and on-site training. You will be required to complete a practical portion requirement as part of completion as well as compete in the CGN (canine good neighbor) test from the CKC Canadian Kennel Club. If during the time Allison does not believe that your dog has the right temperament to be a successful therapy dog she will gladly refund half the cost of the class.

Doggy Boot Camps

Don’t have the time to commit to an obedience class that runs over 8 weeks? Well here at KENRO we can help! We are now offering DOGGY BOOT CAMPS! Commit to 2 days over a 4-6 week period instead of 7! You spend 6 hours on day one and then have 4-6 weeks to practice and then you return for another day of 6 hours. You get the same level and amount of training but in a shorter time frame. There is also a lot more opportunity to practice right with the instructor there!!

We offer classes usually 3 times a year; once in the fall, winter and spring. DOGGY BOOT CAMP is 2 days for 6 hours each day. The classes we offer are as follows:

Puppy Kindergarten

We learn through games and focus on getting our puppies attentive to us and building a foundation to learn. All puppies need to have at least 2 sets of shots to attend.

Basic Beginner

This class of for dogs 6 months or older with all their shots up to date. We focus on getting your dog to pay attention to you as well as learning commands such as sit, down, stay, come, and leave it. we will also work on loose leash walking and any other challenge that comes up in class.

Advanced

The prerequisite for this class is Basic Beginner. Here we are going to start learning hand signals, making the commands already learned more solid. You will start working your dog from the side instead of the front and working off leash will also be started. If time permits we will also starting teaching a proper heel.

Private Instruction & In-Home Training

We also offer private instruction and In-Home training options that are available with inquiry.

frequently asked questions

For the first session please bring small soft treats as rewards for your dog. A leash that is 4 – 6 feet in length and a collar. If you have been using a training collar other than a plain flat, buckle collar bring it along and I can have a look at what I would prefer you to use. NO FLEXI LEADS WILL BE ALLOWED! Poop bags are also a good idea as cleaning up after your dog is your responsibility and we must keep the area around our facility clean at all times.

For the boot camps, a kennel is also required because sometimes during the day sessions there are times when the dog needs rest and I will just be discussing things with you. If you don’t use a kennel (although I recommend all dogs be crate trained) they must have a place to rest away from it all so they may have to retire to your vehicle for the rest periods providing the weather permits.
