	Puppy Kindergarten Where it all begins! This class will start you on the right relationship with your new puppy. It has a balance between training and good old fashion fun. For puppies 8 to 16 weeks.

	Puppy Two The next step. You and your puppy will continue the learning process with beginning work on leash. Collar and leash are provided.

	Beginner This class is for dogs who have had no training experience. You and your dog will learn all the basics. Training collar and leash are provided.

	Intermediate Now you and your dog are really getting good! This class will build on the basic exercises you have already learned and point you in the direction of a companion that is well behaved on or off leash.

	Novice Considering entering your dog in an obedience competition? This class will help you prepare for your first trip into the ring.

	Beginner Open After obtaining your CD at the Novice level, the next progression in competition brings you to Open and the CDX. This level is more exciting as your dog is now working off lead, retrieving and taking jumps. The Beginner Open class will introduce you to each exercise --- broken down in clear, positive steps.

	Open/Utility For you die hard obedience competitors wishing to reach the highest levels.

	Canine Good Citizen This class is open to all dogs regardless of parentage! We will help you prepare for the AKC Canine Good Citizen title. Testing will be on the last night of class. All dogs should be Canine Good Citizens! This is an eight week course. Call 413-498-2609 to see when offered.

	Breed Handling Thinking about showing in the breed ring or just need to give a new puppy a little practice? This class will give you the ability to best present your dog.

	Rally O AKC Rally is the new dog sport that is taking the nation by storm, a successful stepping stone from the AKC Canine Good Citizen® program to the world of obedience or agility. Rally offers both the dogs and handlers an experience that is fun and energizing. The canine team moves at their own pace, very similar to rally-style auto racing. Rally was designed with the traditional pet owner in mind, but it can still be very challenging for those who enjoy higher levels of competition.
