Classes Offered at Willow Run Kennels

We're proud to announce that we will be offering the following at Willow Run Kennels starting in January: 

  • 6 Week Group Classes: Group classes are extremely beneficial for dogs to help socialize them with other canines in a safe and manageable environment. 
    During each 6 week group session we will cover all basic obedience cues and handling skills. (Including but not limited to: Sit, Down, Stay, Take it, Leave it, Loose Leash Walking, Come when called, and more... we will even tackle those problem behaviors such as chewing, barking, play biting, jumping, and potty training.)
    Additionally, the classes will cover nutrition & exercise to ensure a healthy and happy canine for life.



  • Our 6 Week Group Classes Will Include:

  • Puppy 101: Have a new puppy? Let's start them off right!
    So, why a puppy class?
    Here's why:
    Socializing your puppy early is crucial in his early stages of development.  Puppies absorb so much at this time and these positive experiences are the key to setting a good, healthy, foundation for your puppy for the rest of his life.  From potty training to come when called we will cover all of the necessities for you and your puppy.  Through training you will forage the bond that you've always wanted to have with your canine companion.

  • Basic Obedience: For dogs 1 yr. and older.  Basic Obedience cues are paramount when you have an adult dog, at this stage your dog may be pulling you on walks, chewing on your furniture, jumping up, or ignoring every last word you say.  Fear not, during your 6 week Basic Obedience Class, we will cover all of those important foundational skills for you and your dog allowing you to build a strong bond with canine that will last a lifetime.

  • Clicker Training:  Clicker Training is a gateway to many, many possibilities for you and your dog.  The benefit of learning clicker training is that anything is possible!
    The clicker is used to mark the behavior at the instant it happens, and can become a huge motivational tool for your dog.   
    During this class we will cover basic clicker skills and utilizing those skills to train basic cues.  Additionally, you will learn how to shape behaviors and catch behaviors you would like your dog to repeat.

  • On Site Private Classes (at Willow Run Kennel): Classes are sold individually on a per hour basis.  Each class is tailored to cover any issues you would like to work on. This class is beneficial if you would prefer that your dog have one on one attention with a trainer.  The focus will be 100 % on your dog and his or her needs, without the added distraction of other dogs being present.  A private session also allows your dog to learn more in one class than in a group setting.


  • Board and Train: 2 weeks in duration.  The perfect alternative for the busy family who cannot make it to regular sessions!  I will personally work with your dog one on one several times per day throughout the 2 week period to shape the behaviors you would like your dog to accomplish.  I will also teach you how to successfully maintain your dog's behaviors at the end of the 2 week program.
