Clicks and Tricks Foundation:  A 6-week class.   Clicker training is a highly effective, positive and fun way to teach your dog.  Skills can be learned quickly while the bond between the two of you is strengthened…and understanding this method can improve all your other training skills as well!  These are the same methods the pros use to teach killer whales, dolphins and animal movie stars.  In this class you will learn clicker basics and help your dog realize its super star potential by learning some cool, new tricks like spin, kiss, ring a bell, say your prayers and more.   Prerequisite: Completion of Basic Manners 1, or another manners or obedience class (not a puppy class).  

Please No dogs at the first class. 

Required Material:  A Clicker.   A treat bag is highly recommended.  Both are available to purchase first night of class.

With Victoria Papa from Cat’s International

Why do cats like to sit up high?  Why do they like to scratch on your furniture?  Discover the answers and solutions to common behavior problems such as litter box issues, scratching on things other than the scratching post, nipping, and inappropriate play.   Find out how to play appropriately with your cat while engaging her mind and tiring her out.

After the Clicks & Tricks Foundation and Clicks & Tricks Level 2 classes,  trainers and their dogs are eligible to join the HAWS K-9 Click and Trick Brigade program.  The focus of the K-9 Click and Trick Brigade  (K9B) will be to put together both solo and group routines set to music with the goal of creating an entertaining show that can be performed at public events. Working in close proximity and in different environments, this will be a wonderful social experience for both dogs and trainers.  Since this activity will be a team effort regular attendance is required.

 

This is a 6-week walking class held on the HAWS property.  You’ll learn how to keep your dog focused on you when another dog approaches, and how to successfully pass dogs in close proximity or turn away if needed, and how to manage the various distractions present during an outdoor walk.   In the winter this will be an indoor/outdoor class.

Prerequisites: Open to all dogs over 6 months old and have completed a manners or obedience class (not a puppy class).

 

The cost is $79 for dogs adopted from HAWS, and $104 for all other dogs.  An EZWalk Harness is required for class and is included in the registration price.  If you own an EZWalk Harness please call and we will deduct from the price of registration. 

Call for multiple class discounts!
 

If you have further questions or would like to register for this class please call 262-542-8851 x114.

Basic Manners Level 2 is a 6-week class that expands on skills learned in Level 1 by increasing distractions, distance and durations to help dogs increase their ability to focus on their owners.  We also help your dog know how to behave in real life situations, for example, when someone is outside your front door, while you stop to talk with people on walks, and coming to you when called even though highly distracted. 

This class is open to all Basic Manners Level 1 students and the general public.  Prerequisite: Basic Manners Level 1 or another manners or obedience class (not a puppy class).

 

The cost is $79 for dogs adopted from HAWS, and $104 for all other dogs.  An EZWalk Harness is required for class and is included in the registration price.  If you own an EZWalk Harness please call and we will deduct from the price of registration.

Basic Manners Level 1 classes run for six weeks and are offered for dogs of all ages and for puppies over 18 weeks.  The goal of this class is to lay a strong foundation in basic skills such as sit, down, come, loose leash walking, wait, stay and focusing on the owner.  Skills are introduced at a basic level that is built upon each week by introducing duration, distance and distractions.  Our goal is to equip you to understand the nature of your dog and how to best teach him. 

The cost is $79 for dogs adopted from HAWS, and $104 for all other dogs. An Easy Walk harness is required for this course and is included in the registration fee.

Multiple class discounts available!  Call for details.

Life Skills for Puppies: Play, fun socialization, learning - our 6 week puppy class uses the Playground of Higher Learning to provide a unique learning experience for pups and owners alike.  The majority of the class is taught off-leash.  Puppies learn basic manners such as sit, down and come, and by navigating various pieces of brightly colored puppy playground equipment they learn physical balance and coordination.  Controlled playtimes with time outs help pups learn appropriate social behaviors.  The fun and lively setting sets the stage for confident pups that grow into confident and well-behaved dogs.   These classes are for puppies between the ages of 8 and 16 weeks.

See a video from this class!

The registration fee for this class is $104.00.  If your puppy was adopted from HAWS it is $79.00. An Easy Walk harness is included in the price of registration and is needed for the class.

Socialization is much more complicated than meeting a few humans, or meeting a few other dogs. It’s about learning that there is nothing to be concerned about when you meet new individuals, enter new environments, or have new experiences. Just because an owner has a few dogs living in their home, it does not help the puppy become socialized to strange dogs that it may meet. And just because a puppy grows up with children, it may not end up being well socialized to children it has never met before. Our puppy classes help with this important developmental period. 

Stop by End of the Leash on the 3rd Thursday of every month to visit with Dr. Claudeen from the Behavior Department at HAWS.  She'll answer your questions on dog and cat behavior and nutrition, and talk about products that may help with behavior problems.  Join us!

When:  Every 3^rd Thursday
Time:   4:30 – 6:30pm
