Why Flexi-Training?

The instructors and staff of Canine Action have long recognized the need for a more flexible training program to meet the needs of today's busy, modern lifestyles. Face it...our lives are more hectic today than ever.Very simply, this program is an ongoing schedule of classes that permits you to move ahead, from level to level, when YOU are ready. If you have to interrupt your training for any reason, you can do it without the frustration and stress caused by falling behind everyone else in the class. You simply pick up where you left off when you return.

The criteria for the levels in our adult/adolescent program is too comprehensive to list. This program is also designed to be a continuation for those graduating our puppy program. This program will move you from very basic to an advanced level training that is comfortable for you and your dog. Initially, skills such as Attention/Name Recognition, Sit, Down, Stand, Come, Stay, Place, Heel/Loose Leash Walking, & Leave It/Drop It are introduced (or reviewed for puppy graduates) in Level 1. Next, level 2 introduces the 3 D's of proofing your training (Duration, Distance, and Distraction) while introducing some trick training. You will have the opportunity to earn the coveted CGC (Canine Good Citizen) award upon completion of the program. (Please visit www.akc.org for more information.)

 

FAQ's About Flexi-Training

1. When can I start? You can start anytime, but we recommend that you attend an orientation prior to attending Level 1. Orientation is held from 6:45pm- 7:45pm on various evenings throughout the month. Check the online calendar for the next orientation.

2. What happens if I need to miss a class? Absolutely nothing! Just pick up at your current level when you return.

3. I noticed that my current level is scheduled more than once a week. Which class should I attend? Attend the one that works best for you. If you are extremely motivated, you may attend more than one scheduled class for your current level. For example, if you are currently working at Level 2 and you notice there is a class scheduled on Tuesday at 6:45pm and one on Thursday at 6:45pm, you may choose one or both. It’s your choice! As a bonus, you may also attend a class from a previous level if you want a refresher.

4. What if I don't complete the program in the allotted time frame?
We give you 16 weeks to move through this program which is plenty of time if you do your homework an attend on a regular basis. If, however, you wish to continue on after your 16 weeks, you may purchase a 4-week extension for a nominal fee.
