Two levels of Dog Training Lessons led by Phil Huntington & John Jalbert in consultation with Bruce Giannetti! All trainers new to Parks & Recreation lessons should start in the Puppy & Beginner Lessons. If you and your dog are more advanced, you will be invited to move up to the Novice & Open Lessons.

Puppy & Beginner
Who’s walking who? Does your puppy or dog pull, lunge, jump, counter surf, not come when called or bark incessantly? Owners of dogs four months or older will receive instruction in basic obedience training to include the 7 common commands - sit, stay, down, heel, off, come and no. We will also address other common issues and individual dog/handler needs. All dogs must have their shots prior to the first class. Bring your vaccination certificates, dog, a training collar and 6 foot leash to class. No harnesses or extenda-leads! Let’s see what your dog can do and have some fun! Daily Drop-ins are available: $30/class (no additional non-resident fee); preregister on-line or arrive a few minutes early to register on-site.

Novice & Open
Let’s get moving! Dogs and handlers who have completed the Puppy/Beginner Course can move on to perfect their skills and continue their learning journey by adding skills working toward off lead work! A stepping stone from beginners we continue to work on sit, stay, off, down, come, heel and no while adding additional movement, obstacles and distractions! This course requires a training collar and 6 foot leash. Instructors are able to begin laying groundwork for therapy work if you are interested. Daily Drop-ins are available: $30/class (no additional non-resident fee); preregister on-line or arrive a few minutes early to register on-site.
