Class Descriptions
Puppy Kindergarten – This class is offered for puppies 7 weeks to 4 months of age. Our puppy classes capitalize on that special period during a dog’s life when they are most easily trained. Puppy training classes are designed to develop friendly, well-socialized pups, and to get pups and their owners started out on the right paw! We focus on socialization with other dogs and people and establishing basic manners. We will arm you with positive ways to address mouthing, chewing, housetraining and other puppy behaviors. Click here to learn more about puppy classes.
Adolescent Puppy – This class is offered for older puppies; 5 months to one year old. We focus on adolescent behaviors like jumping up on people and things, pulling on a leash or running away. If you would like to teach your dog to listen to you while burning off that extra energy running and playing with other dogs, this is the class for you!
Canine Good Citizen & Therapy Dog – The Canine Good Citizen (or CGC) program is a certification by the American Kennel Club and is open to dogs of any breeding, pure bred or mixed breeds. The Therapy Dog program is a certification program by Therapy Dog International and is open to all dogs over one year of age. This certification will enable you to take your dog to schools, libraries, nursing homes, hospitals, etc. so your dog can interact with people in these environments. This is a preparatory class to prepare you for the test. The final week of class we hold a Canine Good Citizen Test and a Therapy Dog test. You can earn two certifications at once!! And there is no extra charge to BeauJes students! Exercises include general manners including:
- accepting a friendly stranger
- sitting politely for petting
- appearance and grooming
- walking on a loose leash
- walking through a crowd
- sit and down on command and staying in place
- coming when called
- reaction to another dog
- reaction to a distraction like bikes, runners, children, medical equipment
- supervised separation
- leave it
Advanced Obedience/Rally – Beaujes Dog Training is now offering advanced obedience classes for the discriminating dog owner who wants a higher level relationship with their dog. This class will teach you how to really become a “team” with your dog; an experience that is fun and energizing. You will learn handling skills and training methods based on positive reinforcement. There are no limits to what you and your dog can achieve! If you enjoy a challenge, enjoy working with your dog, and want to attain a higher level of skill, this is the class for you! This class will also help you prepare to compete in Rally, the AKC’s newest dog sport competition! Some of the exercises we teach are:
- heeling off leash
- hand signals
- out of sight sit/down stays
- drop on recall
- go to your place
- finishes
- jumps
- basic agility
- rally
- and some of my favorite tricks!
Growly Dog Classes using Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) – Behavior Adjustment Training, or BAT, rehabilitates dog reactivity by looking at why the dog is reactive and helping him or her meet his needs in other ways. In a nutshell, BAT gives the dogs a chance to learn to control their environment through peaceful means. It’s very empowering to your dog, in a good way.
