DAYTIME TRAINING FOR NON-DAYCARE DOGS                          In Store               
Does your dog need private training while you are at work?  Does your dog have issues with strangers or with other dogs?  We can help! We will work with your dog in private sessions to become more comfortable in the presence of unknown people or other dogs.  This program can also be used for obedience work.  We will discuss what you are looking to accomplish and work towards those goals.  Our program includes:

4 private sessions with a trainer to work on identified issues.  Each session can range from 1 hour to 3 hours.

            1 – 60 minute review session with the trainer, the owner and your dog

            Written evaluation of your dog’s progress and accomplishments

* If your dog is with us for ½ day, there will be no additional charge.  If your dog needs to stay with us for a full day, the daily cost of daycare will be added to the bill.

TRAINING TO BE IN DAYCARE                                                             
Some of our dogs need extra help to be able to attend daycare.  They may be too shy or too insecure to fit in right away.   We can help!  We have successfully integrated several dogs into a daycare environment who would have been turned away from other facilities.   Our program includes:

4 private sessions with a trainer
- These sessions will be held while your dog stays with us for either a ½ day or full day.  Each session can range in time from 1 hour – 3 hours.

2 - 30 minute review sessions with the trainer and the owner

Written evaluation of your dog’s progress and accomplishments

Do you want your dog to walk nicely on a leash or come when you call her?  Some of our dogs need extra attention and quality time with one of our trainers.   We can help your dog learn not to jump, not to bark or work on specific tasks that will make your life easier!  Our program includes:

8 private sessions with a trainer
- These sessions will be held while your dog is in daycare. Each session can range in time from 20 minutes to 1 hour.

          2 – 30 minute review sessions with the trainer, the owner and your dog

            Written evaluation of your dog’s progress and accomplishments

* The daily cost of daycare is not included in this package

If you don't have a crate you might want to get one, but empty crates are available at the building, too.  Either way, be prepared to somehow confine your dog.  It will need to rest between exercises, and you will not always be available to hold its leash since you will be learning other jobs in flyball besides handling.  If you don't already have a harness for your dog, and it weighs more than 20 lbs., we suggest you get one as soon as you can.  Recommended brands are the Sure-Fit harness by Premier, and Lupine.  Measure your dog before purchasing to make sure you get the right size.

Choke collars, prong collars and flexi-leads (retractable leashes) are not permitted in class.  Martingale or other limited slip collars are OK.  A 6-foot leash is preferred.  Collars and leashes should be made of fabric or leather only – no chain.  This for the handler’s protection as well as the dog’s.  All dogs must be on leash as they enter and exit the building and training area.

Other things to bring with you:

1. The completely filled-out and signed Release The Hounds “Flyball Training” form
2. Poop bags (they can be purchased at the building if necessary)
3. "Good" treats and treat bag (“good” meaning something your dog gets rarely, like string cheese, or chopped bits of lunch meat)
4. Water dish
5. A favorite toy or tug
6. A "hungry" dog (don't feed dinner, or entire dinner before class)
7. A clicker if your dog is used to training with one.

Wear comfortable clothes and appropriate shoes, as your dog isn’t the only one who will be running.
