Understanding Canine Body Language - At Trident Campuses  (Due to COVID-19, our Trident Courses are on hold)

Picture
Dogs are masters at reading body language - of their own kind and ours... Are you?
Do you know the difference between the various positions of the tail and the types of wags?
Do you know what causes the hair on your dog's back to go up and what it indicates? 
Can you recognize the difference between a dog acting defensively aggressive vs offensively?

Find out how dogs communicate with their bodies with one another as well as with us. Learn to recognize not just the obvious signs of fear, anxiety, aggression, and submission, but also the subtle ones that are precursors to reactivity.

​This is a seminar for people, NO dogs please.

The Confident Puppy-Socialization and beyond

Picture
Dogs 8 to 14 weeks of age (2 to 3.5 months)
  • Confidence building happens now! Not later in a dog's life.  No need to be concerned about your puppy catching a disease in class. Not only do we check all vaccination records to ensure that all the puppies are current on age-appropriate shots, but we also regularly clean our facility with the same type of cleaning solution that is used at Vet offices to prevent the sustenance and spread of illnesses.  
 
  • Prevent Fearfulness from Developing! Fear of strangers and/or unfamiliar dogs; Fear of thunder and/or fire works; Fear of new, odd objects, places... These are all too common forms of fear that develop in dogs due to inappropriate or lack of exposure and socialization at an early age, that is before 16 weeks of age. We will create a version of these scenarios in class to teach you how to work on preventing and minimizing fear in your puppy, as well as what to do should you see them acting afraid. Click for Article: "Can You Reinforce Fear?"
 
  •  Prevent Vet and Grooming Stress! Don't be fooled by your puppy's seemingly calm, non-reactive response to being handled, poked and prodded. By the time your puppy is due for his/her 3rd round of shots, they'll be mentally more aware, physically more balanced and strong, and emotionally more sensitive. That means that your puppy will now start to express his feelings about things that bother him/her more openly, aka resist what doesn't feel good! Early "husbandry" training can reduce aversion and resistance to being handled, especially for veterinary and grooming care. Even the Veterinary world is moving toward creating a "Fear-Free" environment for our pets.
  • Check out the new "Fear-Free" Certification Program being offered to Veterinarians:  https://fearfreepets.com/about/what-is-fear-free/
  • Here's a link to a video on what husbandry training looks like: click here
​
  • What our students are saying: "We highly recommend the puppy socialization class with Z&E Canine Manners. Our puppy lacked confidence/social skills and after the class he really came full circle and plays and greets dogs of all sizes! He also learned basic commands which have become very useful in day to day training and activities!  It was a great class for us as well, full of information that will help us be a happy family."  Jessica, Lee, & Buoy (West Ashley)
 
  • 4 weeks, $130. 
  • No orientation required
  • We will be contacting your Veterinarian to confirm that your puppy is current on age appropriate vaccinations. 
  • Note: Classes require a minimum of 3 registrants to be held. In the event that a class is missing the required number of participants, it will be pushed back 1 to 2 weeks to a new start date. Students already registered will be informed via email.

AKC Canine Good Citizen Class + Test

Picture
You’ve taken a basic manners or puppy class. You got a good start but now what? Well, here’s one good answer: the Canine Good Citizen program. As the American Kennel Club puts it: “Responsible Owners, Well-Mannered Dogs. The AKC's Canine Good Citizen program is recognized as the gold standard for dog behavior. In CGC, dogs who pass the 10 step CGC test can earn a certificate and/or the official AKC CGC title” (from the American Kennel Club site).
 
Why take the CGC class? The CGC is recognized in more than 40 states and nationally as an indicator of a well-behaved dog (think landlords &/or insurance). It is often a first step toward other activities such as therapy work or contraband detection and the more obvious obedience, rally, and agility.
 
Who can take the class? Any dog, of any age, can earn a CGC. Before starting the class, we recommend that your dog is familiar with sit, down, stay, come, and walking on a leash. Though the actual skills may still be a work in progress, we will help you get from that “work in progress” stage to the level required to pass the AKC test.

Class consists of 6 weeks of training with the test being administered in week 7.
 
For information on the CGC program and test, go to the American Kennel Club web site (http://www.akc.org/dog-owners/training/canine-good-citizen/). 

  • ​7 weeks of class includes Test, $175
  • No orientation required
  • Please NO aggressive or reactive dogs; consult with the instructor prior to sign up if you are unsure or to inquire about other training options.
  • Classes require a minimum of 3 registrants to be held. In the event that a class is missing the required number of participants, it will be pushed back 1 to 2 weeks to a new start date. Students already registered will be informed via email.

Leading By Example - Leash Walking Class

Dogs that pull make walking unpleasant and frustrating. You've tried a few of the "no pull" equipment on the market but none have really worked. That's because you haven't addressed the real problem... lack of connection (on dog's part) and leash skills (on owner's part).

This class focuses on giving you the tools and knowledge you'll need to teach and communicate to your dog clearly and precisely  'what' the expectations are and 'how' (you and) your dog can successfully meet them. The approach and accompanying techniques place equal responsibility on the dog and owner to maintain focus and connection for a jubilant, cooperative walk.

  • This class is limited to 4 dogs.
  • 4 week class, $140 
  • No orientation required.
  • During class practice, there will be no greeting between dogs. For dog-dog and dog-people greeting skills, please see our "Polite Greetings" class.
  • Please note: We will be contacting your Veterinarian to confirm the status of your dog's vaccinations.

AKC Rally Obedience All Levels (Prep for Competition)

Picture
Puppies and adult dogs 12 weeks and up
  • DO IT FOR FUN, DO IT FOR COMPETITION. Whether you’re looking to compete in a dog sport - some of our students have already titled their dogs in Novice and are working on their Advanced and Excellent ribbons - or further your dog’s obedience skills, Rally Obedience is the place to start. 
  • ​Rally Obedience is a popular choice among both competitors & pet owners alike. Most dogs need a job in which to apply their energy and skills. In the absence of such an opportunity, dogs create jobs for themselves - herd the kids, chase away anyone that comes to the house, shred all tearable items, etc. Rally obedience is just that, an opportunity for dog/owner team to engage in a mutual task, one that fosters good communication while building advanced obedience skills.

  • Novice Level/Intro to Competition Rally: For pet owners interested in pursuing Rally Obedience as a sport & considering competing. This class is suitable for both beginners & for those with some rally experience.
  • Intermediate, Advanced & Excellent Levels: For new & returning students who are competing. 
  • Rally classes vary in length, from 6 weeks to 8 weeks. Please inquire with your class instructor for the length of the course you are taking. 
  • Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, & Excellent Levels are all taught by instructor Caroline Hunt, an experienced competitor who has a Rally Master and multiple RAEs on several of her dogs.
  • Classes require a minimum of 3 registrants to be held. In the event that a class is missing the required number of participants, it will be pushed back 1 to 2 weeks to a new start date. Students already registered will be informed.

Scent Work Class Level 1 Beginner & Level 2 Advanced

Dogs are natural born scenters, it's how they explore and experience their world. So why not take advantage of this self-rewarding olfactory ability and channel it into a fun, constructive game that not only gives the dog a low-key occupation but also provides him  with mental enrichment?

We don't need to teach dogs "how to" scent, just the rules of the game. That's why dogs of any age, from puppies to seniors, can participate in this class. Senior dogs in particular would benefit greatly from doing scent work as it presents no risk or challenge to the dog's physical condition.  

  • Level 1: 6 weeks, $175
  • Level 2: 6 weeks, $190
  • Class Limit: 8 dogs - Due to COVID-19, we have reduced our class sizes to 5 dogs per class.
  • Classes require a minimum of 3 registrants to be held. In the event that a class is missing the required number of participants, it will be pushed back 1 to 2 weeks to a new start date. Students already registered will be informed via email.
