Canine Bliss

Canine Bliss offers several group classes and private lessons. Puppy Preschool is designed for puppies under 16 weeks, covering topics such as housebreaking, crate training, nipping and jumping prevention, building puppy confidence, grooming and handling techniques, introduction to simple obedience commands, and proper socialization.

Basic Manners is for dogs over 4 months of age and teaches fundamental commands like sit, down, stay, loose leash walking, four feet on the floor (no jumping), and come. This class also educates students on canine behavior, nutrition, and leadership skills.

Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Advanced Obedience classes require Basic Manners as a prerequisite. The CGC program prepares dogs for the American Kennel Club’s 10-step CGC and CGCA tests, focusing on responsible ownership and good dog behavior in various situations. Advanced Obedience teaches new precision obedience behaviors such as fronts, finishes, stands, pivots, and proper heeling, emphasizing strong teamwork. Drop-in classes are available for practicing skills learned in CGC and Advanced Obedience, including fun Rally courses. Private consultations are offered for specific needs like a headstart to group classes, housetraining issues, general obedience, and behavior problems.
