Hudson Community Services: Community Education, School Age Care, Summer Programs

Your dog will develop better manners in the face of distractions. Solid sits & down stays, reliable recalls, polite greetings, and walking without pulling, no matter what is going on around you. Family members are encouraged to attend too. Dogs that pass the CGC test are deemed to be reliable family and community members and will receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club (includes mix breeds). If you are wanting to train for Therapy Dog Certification, this course is your first step and the CGC test must be passed to move to the next training step.

By teaching tricks, you will establish a closer, more communicative bond with your canine friend. Additionally, you can capitalize and improve behaviors your dog already knows, provide mental and physical stimulation by teaching your dog to experiment, pay attention to you and offer behaviors to learn self control. Open to dogs of all ages with or without prior training. A list of at least 15 trick behaviors are offered for you to choose from and your canine friend will learn at least 5 if not all 15.
