Intro to Swimming

​

A gentle, supportive class designed for dogs who are new to swimming, unsure in the water, or just getting started as puppies. The focus is on building comfort and positive experiences at each dog’s pace.

 

In this class, dogs will:

 

• Be safely introduced to the water step-by-step

• Learn how to enter, exit, and move comfortably in the pool

• Build confidence with handler support

• Get short, positive swim exposures (no pressure to “perform”)

• Take breaks and progress at their own speed

​

Great for dogs who:

 

• Don’t like or are unsure about swimming

• Are puppies being introduced to water for the first time

• Need a slower, more encouraging approach

• Have had limited or negative water experiences

​

This class is all about creating a positive foundation—no forcing, no rushing, just helping dogs learn that water can be a safe and enjoyable place.

Happy Ratters - Drop Ins

This is a fun, fast-growing dog sport that taps into your dog’s natural hunting instincts in a safe and controlled environment. Dogs search for live rats that are securely housed in aerated tubes, using their nose, problem-solving skills, and teamwork with their handler.

​

All classes are held indoors in an air-conditioned space, so you and your dog can train comfortably year-round.

In this class, dogs learn to locate hidden rats, navigate simple obstacles, and build confidence working both independently and with guidance. Teams earn points for finding rats, completing obstacles like tunnels (burrows) and bridges, and demonstrating effective teamwork.

​

One of the things that makes Happy Ratters especially engaging is the variety of games available. We’ll incorporate different game-style searches and challenges to keep training fresh, fun, and mentally stimulating for both dogs and handlers. 
 

Suitable for all rat hunting skill levels including beginners.  Have a dog or people reactive dog? Contact us about a private lesson.

AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Class (6 Weeks) 

This 6-week AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy class is designed to give puppies and their handlers a strong foundation in training, manners, and early social skills. The focus is on building confidence, developing good habits, and creating clear communication between puppy and handler during this important learning stage.

This class is appropriate for puppies between 12 weeks and 12 months who are comfortable participating in a group class setting.

Each week will include structured training exercises, socialization opportunities, and practical skills that support real-life success. Exercises are broken down into simple, achievable steps so handlers can continue building skills at home between classes.

Throughout the course, we will:

• Introduce and reinforce foundational obedience skills such as sit, down, come, and leash manners

• Work on focus, engagement, and impulse control in a variety of environments

• Practice appropriate socialization with other puppies and people

• Support positive handling and cooperative care skills

• Help prepare teams for the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test requirements

Puppies who are ready to complete the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test will have the opportunity to be evaluated during the final class. Handlers who successfully pass can then submit their information to the AKC to receive their official S.T.A.R. Puppy recognition.

This class is designed to be fun, supportive, and confidence-building for both puppies and their handlers. Held indoors in Air conditioning in a fully matted training room.
