GREENVILLE DOG TRAINING
Our dog trainers are ready to provide the attention, guidance, and love your pup needs to succeed including:
AKC Star Puppy Class: $180
PUPPY KINDERGARTEN
6 weeks, 1 hour classes. Must have current vaccination records.
The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program is designed to focus on everything that puppies and their owners need to give them both the best possible start on their journey together. S.T.A.R. stands for Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility. And that’s not just for puppies but for their owners too. These organized training classes also allow your puppy to socialize with other dogs.
You’ll learn how to deal with challenging puppy-raising issues, including housetraining, chewing, and basic obedience such as coming when called. At the end of the course, you and your puppy will need to take the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test. When you and your puppy have passed the test, you’ll receive an application to send to the AKC that will allow you to enroll in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. This class will set you and your pup up to move on to Basic training and work towards your AKC Canine Good Citizen Program (CGC).
Designed for puppies under 6 months old.

AKC Basic Training Program: $180

In this fun six-week-long class, we will help you and your dog begin working as a team. This is an introductory class designed to teach owners to teach their dogs basic good manners. For dogs of all breeds or mixed breeds and ages older than 6 months on the date of the last class. We use positive training methods only that will teach your dog to come when you call, walk politely on leash, interact appropriately with people and other dogs, and respond enthusiastically to you. Each class includes plenty of socialization, question/answer time, and problem solving to help you turn your dog into the type of companion you can truly be proud to take anywhere. Whether you just want to have a better-behaved family companion or plan to enter the exciting world of dog sports or therapy work, Beginning Obedience is the first step to help you achieve your goals.

AKC Canine Good Citizen Program (CGC) Training Class: $200
6 weeks, 1 hour classes. Must have current vaccination records.
Prerequisite: Basic Obedience class with Paws-Up GVL or equivalent skills.
Six weeks of classes geared toward passing the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen test. Your dog doesn't have to already be a Canine Good Citizen to join the class! The purpose of this class is to take your dog to the next level of training, no matter where they currently are. We will continue your dog's socialization, give you and your dog quality time together, and provide structure, guidance, and real-life distractions as you prepare your dog for the Canine Good Citizen exam.
Although the primary focus of our CGC program is to help you have a well-mannered pet, this class is also an excellent foundation if you want to progress to dog sports or therapy work. In fact, passing the CGC test is typically a prerequisite for certification by Therapy Dog organizations. In some cases, successful completion of the Canine Good Citizen examination may qualify you for discounts on your home-owner's insurance - check with your agent for details.
There are 10 areas addressed by the AKC program and trained in this class are:
Accepting a friendly stranger.
Sitting politely for petting.
Calmly accepting grooming and handling.
Sit and Down on command, Stay.
Coming when called.
Loose leash walking with stops, sits, and turns on your cue.

Virtual Dog Training is convenient, effective, and easy!
It is the ideal alternative to a traditional one-on-one training session. Not only does it allow you stay in the comfort of your own home, but it allows you to use a familiar location that you and your dog are both calm and confident in. We can find ways to work on things in real time and can focus on everything from: home set up, crate training, behavioral issues and basic training!
