This area is large enough for groups/teaching volunteers splitting off for various levels at the same time including puppy socialization up to utility level.
As soon as the agility equipment is brought up to snuff, there will be FUN agility play on an introductory, noncompetitive level as well as a Rally-O course designed to supplement the summer hiatus of PFOC's classes.
This is a one-one-one, private two-hour session with you, your dog and instructor Steff Smith of SW German Shepherd Rescue. Can be during the week or weekends as schedules permit.
It is geared to address handler-related problems with dominant or fear aggressive dogs, as well as other behavioral issues to which inexperienced handlers unknowingly contribute.
This is an excellent foundation from which to follow up with a recommended group obedience class where newly learned skills can be immediately applied.
Held at a public park in North or NW Phoenix for a nominal fee by appointment
on a time available basis.
