This formal obedience class teaches skills needed to compete in Novice and Open obedience using positive reinforcement methods. Distractions during show like ring procedures are used as dogs perfect a skill. Step by step instruction to achieve the necessary skills for titles is given. Run-thrus are held at All Dog Adventures from September to June.

Tricks Classes

Tricks classes teach how to train your dog for enjoyment at home, TV advertisements, print ads, or therapy visits. Dogs who have learned at All Dog Adventures have done ads including Juvenile Diabetes tv ad, Southern States dog food TV ad, Village Bank TV ad and print ads. Jody, Cindy Briggs' golden retriever, is currently the Village Bank mascot visiting all the banks, performing for First Friday Retail Merchants event. Many of the dogs from All Dog have been on the cover of calendars, breed specific magazines, and local ads. Besides all of that, tricks are just fun to learn.

Doga

Yoga and dogs are a great combination. This is just fun and relaxing. Stretching and breathing with your dog is great for relaxation, conditioning, and bonding. Older dogs sometimes get left out of family activity though the young dogs are welcome, too, older dogs enjoy the massage and socialization at Doga class.

Rally

Rally classes are great way to continue training basic commands in a fun environment. This game furthers attention, heeling, stays and more. Following signs that tell the handler what to do in sequence of numbers, the dog needs to pay attention while the handler makes way around the course. From Beginner, just learning the signs and game, to competition or just fun, it's all offered in this class. Both styles of Rally are taught APDT and AKC by Rhea McCaffery who is a judge for both.

Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog, Inc

These classes prepare dogs for the tests of AKC and TDI for therapy visits, insurance, and good reference for apartment dwelling. The tests are given regularly.
