C.L.A.S.S., or Canine Life and Social Skills, is an educational program to promote training focused on the use of positive reinforcement and to strengthen relationships between humans and their canine companions.

Encourage Ongoing Training

Dogs are continually learning with every behavior, so why not use training to be proactive in what your dog learns? With its emphasis on maintaining training skills, as well as advancing to higher levels of training, the C.L.A.S.S. program supports continual training.

There are so many reasons to continue training with your dog:

-Training redirects your dog’s natural behaviors to acceptable outlets
-Training builds your dog's behavioral repertoire
-The more acceptable behaviors a dog learns, the less room there is for undesirable behaviors
-Training is fun for you and your dog
-Training increases the odds that a dog will stay in the family for his lifetime rather than be given up due to behavior issues
-Dog sports and games
-Animal-assisted therapy work
-Outings and travel with your dog
