Class Descriptions

The Basics​​

Puppy Preschool – This class, designed for pups 2 to 4 months (8-16 weeks), combines socialization, obedience, desensitization and play to build confidence in pups and prevent fearful behavior in adulthood. Teach your pup to be calm in exciting environments, habituate them to meeting new people and dogs, being handled, and giving up prized possessions. 

​

Puppy Kindergarten – This class, designed for pups 4 to 6 months (16-24 weeks), bridges the gap between our puppy preschool socialization class and our basic obedience class. Your pup will enjoy plenty of play time with other dogs, but will begin to transition to a more structured class setting. They will practice focusing on you while their 4-legged friends are nearby.

​

Basic Obedience – This class is designed for dogs ages six months and older – or puppies that have already graduated from Puppy Kindergarten. The class covers basic obedience skills including sit, down, stay, come, and polite leash-walking behavior and much more!

​

Intermediate Obedience – If your dog understands commands like sit, down and stay, but you want to work on the duration and reliability of these behaviors around distractions, then this is the class for you!

​

Advanced Obedience – This class continues to build upon, improve and proof the skills taught in Basic Obedience and Intermediate Obedience. During warm months, this class is offered outside to be extra distracting!

​​

Obedience with Obstacles – Inspired by our Adolescence class' "graduation week", this class integrates obedience skills such as sit, down and stay with obstacle courses and canine conditioning. This is a great opportunity to continue to work on your dog's listening skills in a distracting environment all while having fun and building your dogs confidence. 

​​

Canine Good Citizen – Canine Good Citizen is a program that was founded by the AKC to reward dogs that have good manners in both the home and the community. For four weeks your dogs will work on polite greetings, handling desensitization, leash walking and more. On the fifth week they will take the 10-step CGC test to become a certified Canine Good Citizen. Not interested in the certification? This class is still a great opportunity for your dog to polish their skills! Dog must have completed a basic obedience at Unleashed or elsewhere prior to enrolling in the class.

​

Rally Obedience – Much like Scentwork and Agility, Rally Obedience is an activity that you and your dog work together as a team. You and your dog must navigate a course of several stations that require your dog to perform different obedience behaviors. This is a great class to improve your dogs obedience and listening skills as well as strengthening your bond and having fun!​

Behavior Specific Obedience​

Adolescence – This class is geared for dogs 9 months to 2 years old going through adolescence, however any dog older than six months is welcome to join. During this critical period in your dog’s life they may begin to test boundaries and as an owner you may experience regression with their training. This class will accommodate your teenage dog’s short attention span by alternating between obedience and fun exercises as well as strengthening their desire to listen to you.

​

No Nuisance  Formerly known as “No Pulling, No Jumping, and Coming When Called” – this class focuses on polite leash walking, keeping all four paws on the floor, leave it, impulse control exercises and recall.

​

Nervous Nellies  This class is specifically built for dogs that are nervous, shy, and/or cautious around novel items and in new environments. The goal of this class is to help our careful and timid dogs build confidence and independence through movement puzzles. â€‹

​

Leash Walking Plus – Focus on common leash walking problems including no pulling, heel work, “leave it” when it comes to goodies on the ground, polite behavior when greeting people and dogs, and more. When weather allows, this class is held outdoors to mirror real-life situations. IMPORTANT: If your dog exhibits any sort of leash reactivity (ex: barking, growling, lunging toward passing dogs or people) this class would be an overwhelming setting for your dog and we highly recommend private lessons to work one-on-one with your dog’s leash behavior.

​

Coming When Called  The entire focus of this class is teaching (or re-teaching) your dog to come when called. This 5 week class takes place in summer at various outdoor community parks while we work with our dogs on long leads.  

​

Reactive Rover This class is specifically for dogs that react and/or get over stimulated when passing other dogs on a walk. A reaction may be barking, growling, lunging, whining, jumping, etc. Dogs will progress at different rates in this class depending on their level of reactivity. During the six weeks of this class we will teach you how to both manage and modify this behavior, as well as give your dogs an opportunity to practice and learn in a calm, safe environment. Enrolling in this class also includes a private lesson with the head instructor. 

​

Brian's Bootcamp An hour long class completely dedicated to exhausting your dog through challenging obedience exercises and obstacles. This is a great refresher for adult dogs and an amazing way to tire out your young dogs.

​

Stop, Drop, and Stay!– This class, which will eventually move outside as the weeks progress, focuses on impulse control around distractions. Teach your dog to drop into a down stay immediately, regardless of what distractions are surrounding them.

Canine Athletics​

Beginner Fungility –  Dogs and handlers are introduced to agility equipment and how to communicate with each other on the course. Agility is a fun way to strengthen many obedience behaviors, and this class is a good primer for those interested in the sport. It can also be an amazing confidence builder for timid or nervous dogs. This class is required before dogs can participate in our continuing Fungility classes. 

​

Novice Fungility  Dogs and handlers will takes turns navigating their way through rudimentary mini-courses and practice basic handling skills. Once dogs and their handlers are efficient at this level, they will be invited to join Intermediate Fungility.

​

Intermediate Fungility  Dogs and handlers will take turns navigating their way though more complicated mini-courses and learn new handling skills. Once dogs and their handlers are efficient at this level, they will be invited to join Advanced Fungility.​

​

Advanced Fungility  Dogs and handlers will take turns running full courses on our 40'x80' turfed ring. This class is invite only.

​

Fungility Handling Skills  This series is occasionally offered to Fungility students and focuses entirely on handler/dog communication in the ring. Students will work on weave pole entry, crosses, send & collections, pushes, start line stays, contact zones and more! This is a great preparation for Hawk City K9 agility classes.

​

Sniff & Seek – Does your dog love to sniff things? Are you looking for a fun activity that will challenge your dog AND can be practiced within the walls of your own home?  This class will introduce you to the basics of canine nose work – an up and coming dog sport that involves scent detection.​

​

Urban Herding  No sheep? No problem! Urban Herding is just what it sounds like - a herding class for our city dogs that do not have any sheep of their own to herd. This sport, also known at Treibball, gives dogs the opportunity to herd large exercise balls into goals. While herding dogs are quite naturals at this sport, any dog breed or mix that loves to learn and think will enjoy this challenge! This class is a non-competitive introduction to the sport. Teach your dog to take basic direction to push and maneuver the ball. A great way to improve teamwork and communication between you and your dog.

​

Rally Obedience – Much like Scentwork and Agility, Rally Obedience is an activity that you and your dog work together as a team. You and your dog must navigate a course of several stations that require your dog to perform different obedience behaviors. This is a great class to improve your dogs obedience and listening skills as well as strengthening your bond and having fun!​

​

Fit Fido – A "canine conditioning" class completely dedicated to strengthening your dogs' muscles, teaching them proper alignment for common positions, which builds both confidence and  body awareness. It is great for athletic dogs, senior dogs, teenagers and even our couch potatoes!
