The American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program was started in 1989 to reward purebred and mix breed dogs who have good manners at home, in public places and in the presence of other dogs.  The AKC’s CGC Program stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs.  HOT’s CGC Prep Class is designed to polish the skills you've learned in Basic 1 & 2 and prepare you to pass the 10 exercises included in the AKC’s CGC Test, such as politely accepting a stranger, grooming, or the presence of another dog.  Your dog will need to demonstrate that it can walk politely with you in public, deal with distractions while on your walk, sit, down on command and wait for you to call them.  The class concludes with the CGC Test conducted in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere.  All dogs that complete the class and pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.  

As of January 2013, when your dog passes the CGC test, you have the option on the CGC form (that you receive when your dog passes the CGC test) to receive a CGC Certificate or record your dog's accomplishment with the AKC as a title.  Please see the AKC's website for more information.

There should be a sense of teamwork between the dog and handler both during the numbered exercises and between the exercise signs; however, perfect "heel position" is not required.  Unlimited communication from the handler to the dog is to be encouraged and not penalized. Unless otherwise specified in these Regulations, handlers are permitted to talk, praise, encourage, clap their hands, pat their legs, or use any verbal means of encouragement. Multiple commands and/or signals using one or both arms and hands are allowed; the handler's arms need not be maintained in any particular position at any time, however, the handler may not touch the dog or make physical corrections.   Click here to learn more about Rally Obedience.

These Tracking events provide training for dogs and their handlers to meet some human needs for tracking and finding lost humans or other animals, as well as, demonstrating the extremely high level of scent capability that dogs possess. Click here to learn more about tracking.  PLEASE NOTE:  This class is only offered twice a year; once in the spring and once in the fall.  Please check our class calendar for start dates.

$140  –  6 weeks
$100 -- additional dogs or audit
Requirements:  Open to handlers of at least 14 years of age and dogs 3 months and older who are in suitable physical condition to handle the challenges of this class.
Competitive tracking is a sport that judges a dog's ability to recognize and follow human scent, a skill that is useful in the service of mankind.  We are not training for search and rescue work, man trailing or evidence discrimination, however, the same basic skills learned in this class are utilized to train dogs for those services.  Tracking, by nature, is a vigorous, outdoor sport.  Tracking tests demonstrate the willingness and enjoyment of the dog in its work, and should always represent the best in sportsmanship and camaraderie by the people involved.  HOT’s Tracking Class is designed for those who have never tracked before or who have been out of the sport for a while and are starting a new dog.  Students will learn the start, corner, article indication, and line-handling skills necessary to develop the teamwork with their dog needed to build a training regime that, with commitment and consistency, will lead to the successful completion of the AKC Tracking Dog (TD) or Tracking Dog Urban (TDU) Test.    
 

Conformation Class

Download registration forms

Dog shows (conformation events) are intended to evaluate breeding stock. The size of these events ranges from large all-breed shows, with over 3,000 dogs entered, to small local specialty club shows, featuring a specific breed. The dog's conformation (overall appearance and structure), an indication of the dog's ability to produce quality puppies, is judged.  This is a drop-in class, meaning there is no pre-registration; you pay each week at class.

Taught by Tim Robbins
$20.00 per week
Requirements:  Dogs must be leashed trained and have up to date vaccinations, including rabies.  Bitches in season must be wearing britches.
Tim Robbins offers a Conformation Class on Tuesday evenings from 8:15 - 9:45 pm at HOT's Training Facility for those who want to learn about showing in the breed ring or just need to polish a dog before showing.  Classes are open to all breeds, adults and puppies, experienced and novice handlers.   For more information contact Tim at Robbsdale@aol.com.

 


Determining Equivalency

The Training Director and two other members of the Training Committee will determine equivalency.  This equivalency is successfully demonstrated by running a "pattern".  Dog should show a working knowledge of moving attention (this need not be perfect), a place sit, recall at end of long line, sit on command, down on command and other exercises appropriate to the class level for which they are registering.  Evaluations are $45.00, must be paid prior to your evaluation session, and must be scheduled, in advanced, with our training director.  You may pay for your session with cash, check or via PayPal. 


Refund Policy

Class sizes are limited, so, if after registering you find that you are unable to attend this course, please let us know in advance so another applicant may fill your slot.  Your enrollment will be canceled and your check will be voided or you may elect to transfer your enrollment to a future Puppy or Basic Class.  If you must miss a class, your instructor will offer an abbreviated make-up session before your next class (as their schedules allow).  No refunds will be made after the first class is completed.  If for some reason you are not able to complete your scheduled class, a transfer certificate will be provided for a slot in a future Puppy or Basic Class. Only one transfer will be allowed per student. There are no transfers offered for CGC, Rally or Advanced classes.
