Training Classes

In this class, the handler and dog improve their skills attained in Basic Obedience class, learn five new in-place turns, execute sit and down out of motion plus preparing the team for off-leash training.

All commands taught in Basic and Intermediate Obedience sessions are reviewed and executed off-leash. We add sit, down and stand during a recall, plus sit and down stays are also executed while the handler is out of site for extended periods of time. A.C.I. also offers board and train programs at our Dixon, California, kennel facility for the canine that needs training when your busy schedule does not permit. Your dog stays at our resort for a working vacation. They receive the personal care and training of your choice. After training is completed, the handler receives an accelerated training regiment for handlers.

At A.C.I., we believe solving a pet behavior problem is rarely simple. It requires your mental effort and often some emotional adjustments on the part of all family members to solve the behavioral problem. Each behavioral modification program is based on a case-by-case basis.

Practical Agility includes hurdle jumps, broad jumps, “A” frame, plank walks, tunnel, weave poles, and directional work. The class focuses on execution of agility regiments, not the speed which the dog can complete an agility course.
