Class Descriptions



Puppy
8 Weeks to 5 Months

This is a class for puppies to learn social skills. This class focuses on desirable behavior and how to avoid bad habits from developing. Puppies will learn how to walk on a leash, sit, down and come. We also begin getting them used to different sights and sounds and a variety of fun obstacles. This is a fun class, but very important.


Beginner Obedience
5 Months and Older

In this class, you will learn to teach your dog to heel, sit, down, come and stay. The focus is on developing a reliable, enthusiastic dog. Dogs are started on Agility equipment.


Intermediate
This class is for dogs that have successfully been through a beginner's course. This class is an extension of topics learned in the beginner's class. In this class, we will introduce the stand and the finish and will start working towards off leash control. The first half of the class is obedience and the second half is agility.



Pre-Open & Polishing Class

This class is an advanced class for those who are interested in showing, and are ready for competition Obedience. We will work on ring procedure and polishing for the ring. We will also begin the dumbbell retrieving exercise, along with the high jump and broad jump. Beginning Utility will be taught on an as needed basis. Formal run throughs for students will also be done as needed.

Agility
JPS offers beginner and advanced agility classes. Agility will continue to be introduced in all the regular classes, including puppy class. The prerequisite for Agility beginners class is a Beginners Obedience class or consent from JPS Training instructor.



Electronic Collars

If not used correctly, E-collars can be very mentally damaging to your dog. If used correctly, they can be a very valuable tool. E-Collar lessons are done as private lessons. If you have a dog that continually runs away, we can usually fix that in one or two E-collar sessions.
