Classes at All About dogs with myself will be Dog Sport Foundations (7-8) this class will cover what I think is very important to building that bond to play any game: Crate Games / It's Yer Choice / Building Toy and Food Drive / Motivational Games which include sit, down and stand for Startline and Stays / Self Control / Targeting / Retrieving / Recalls /  Rearend and Body awareness and that very important Release Word!

The Third class...well... FLYBALL (9-10) that crazy Doggie Drag Racing Game!  If you haven't seen it, make sure to head to the All About Pets Show this Easter Weekend to see these Dogs love there game!  Not to forget about the handlers!  In this class you will learn...or your dog!  The Equipment used in flyball / Building a Fun Interactive Play Relationship / Restrained Recalls / Chase Recalls / Ball Retrieve / Tugging with Self Control / Proper Swimmer's Turn / Jumping and Running / Recalls with Distractions / Putting all the peices together!
 
There are also Many other choices of classes at all locations!
 
I do also want to mention that for any of you inquiring about Private Sessions, these can also be arranged at your Home, a park, and at any of the 3 locations...prices will differ based on where and rental fees.
 
I also have a RuffSport training Group on Facebook, as well, there's specific Facebook pages for K9 country Inn and All About dogs to keep you update on happennings whether Weekend or Mini Workshops, Mini class sessions and Special Events.  This is where I like to post things to all!  This is much easier than single emails and maybe somewhere to share training questions and stories!
 
Well, here's to 2010!  It's going to be a busy year for Dog Sports and the continued growth on Training!
