Our classes cover basic obedience, good manners, responsible citizenship, attention and communication, beginning with puppy kindergarten. Our Training Director, Marjie Alonso, is the owner of City Dog Training in Somerville, MA and the President of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. Our introductory classes are designed with the most current methods of positive dog training, with the goal of building a healthy human-canine relationship and preparing dogs for the eventual completion of the AKC Canine Good Citizen award. Our trainers have experience in many aspects of animal behavior and training. We welcome adult dogs with little or distant obedience experience to start our beginner classes. Nancy Thompson teaches our Novice and Rally obedience classes. Teri Desrosiers teaches Open and Utility competition obedience for dog/handler teams at any level on the first Thursday of every month.
As a club, we work together to encourage ourselves and our dogs to try new things, challenge ourselves, and be creative learning new skills, whether that be remaining calm in the presence of squirrels, carrying a dumbbell over a jump, or making the perfect pot of coffee.
All Classes are held Thursday nights at the Cambridge Armory.
