Register for class!
These are all the currently scheduled up-coming classes. If you don’t see something, it’s either full or not being offered this semester. If you see something that is full, it’s full and we can’t add extras.
Our classes often fill quickly and they open first to our Newsletter subscribers. They get several days to sign up prior to classes being listed here. Most sport classes fill before they make it on the website. Signing up for our newsletter is highly suggested to get in a class you want!
New classes announced approximately every 6-8weeks.
We open all of our classes to our newsletter subscribers first, giving current, prior, and interested followers first dibs at signing up for a spot in class. After a couple days of head-start, any classes with openings remaining will be posted here for the public to sign up for (so add about 2 days to the timer above).
Many of the advanced manners, sport, games, and behavior classes will fill before making it here. So if those are classes you are most interested in, sign up for the news letter!
There are always plenty of spots for Puppy Kindergarten and Elementary Manners classes, and those will make it to the website for sure, if you don’t want to sign up for our newsletter.
Puppy Classes
Start in Puppy Kindergarten if your puppy is under 18wks old (20wks for toy breeds)!
Puppy Einsteins is our performance puppy class! This class teaches the foundation skills you’ll want your future agility, rally, obedience, scentwork, or working dog partner to have. It’s for puppies under 9months old (it does not focus on ‘basic manners’ or include puppy play).
If your teenager dog (4.5 months- 18months old) is struggling with teenager puppy issues like jumping, mouthing, over excitement, poor leash manners, lack of attention, Awesome Adolescents would be a good class (or look below for Elementary Manners).
Puppy Kindergarten (8-18wks old)--(Puppy level 1)
Teenager Classes (Awesome Adolescents)-- (teen level 1)
Sport Puppy Classes (Puppy Einstein, Adventure Puppy, etc)
Basic Manners Series
Start here if your dog is over 18weeks old (20wks for toy breeds).
All dogs start in an Adult Level 1 class unless they’ve graduated from an adult level class elsewhere and have permission from SJC to skip a grade.
Our Puppy K (level 1 puppy) will flow into Elementary Manners (adult level 1).
Elementary Manners Class (adult level 1)
Middle School Manners Class (adult level 2)
High School Manners--CGC Class (adult level 3)
Advanced Level Classes
So you’ve completed a level 2 class and are looking for more advanced manners that aren’t the Canine Good Citizen test, these classes are for you! The skills in these classes build towards our Well Trained Dogs Can Do More Test program where your pup can earn their W-TD title!
Advanced Life Skills includes classes like Let’s Be Polite and Life Skills Class.
Therapy Prep Class teaches skills you’ll use in Therapy Dog Work and how to be a good Therapy Dog Team (it does not teach to a specific test)
Problem Solvers Series are classes focused on 1 or 2 topics that you learn more in depth (recall, leash walking, leave it, stay, etc).
Advanced Life Skills classes (not CGC) (adult levels 2-3 )
Therapy Dog Prep (adult level 2-3)
Problem Solver Series (topic specific classes)
These classes are very narrow in scope. They either cover 1-2 specific topics in a class (typically only a few weeks long) or a special group of skills for a specific topic like preparing for all things holiday party related.
Dog Sports and Activities
Rally, Agility, and Obedience classes (or classes that teach skills applicable to any/all of these sports) are listed accordingly.
All Scentwork classes are listed below (these fill very fast and are generally full from the newsletter and never make it to the website).
Tricks, Fun Activities, and Games classes include multiple levels of trick training where you can earn Trick Titles with Do More With Your Dog or AKC, Parkour class, Magic Mats, Intermediate/Advanced Games class, and more!
Rally, Obedience, Agility classes
Tricks, Fun Activities, and Games classes
Scentwork Classes
Behavior Classes
Classes designed to give you tools to work on your dog’s behavioral issues and a safe place to practice. You’ll find all of our behavior minded classes here–keep cool reactive dogs, slightly spicy class, cooperative care class, nail trim class, fearful dog class.
These classes only run once a year each (and some only when I have dogs who I know need it).
Keep Cool Reactive Dog class is by approval only and all teams MUST complete an Initial Consultation prior to approval. So if you haven’t done a consult yet, you should start there.
