Specialty Classes

On top of doing one on one behavior consultations, No Monkey Business Dog Training, Helen St. Pierre, CPDT-KSA, CDBC, OSCT teaches a variety of classes locally. Puppy training and other dog training classes are taught using positive and effective methods and as well as basic obedience, your dog will learn other important everyday skills.

Dog training classes are taught at No Monkey Business Dog Training. We teach classes on weekday evenings and weekends so you can find a class that fits your schedule. We recommend if you are considering signing up for a class that you thoroughly review your personal schedule to ensure you will not miss classes. It is fine to miss one, and we will help you make up what you missed the next class, but most dogs do best when they can come every week. It is fine for someone else to bring the dog in your place if you are away, including your pet sitter or dog walker!

Classes run on most holidays except for July 4th, Thanksgiving and Christmas, unless otherwise noted, or discussed in the first class depending on group attendance. We do our best to work around everyone’s schedule but also know the benefits dogs experience by coming to classes each week instead of missing weeks in-between. If you have a conflict due to a holiday and we are still running the class, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you and have you drop in to one of the other classes!

Confident Canine Level 1

Specialty Class

(Dogs aged 4 months and up) 4 weeks $220

Some dogs are nervous of new places, new people, and new things. This is a great class for those nervous nellies to warm up to coming to a new place and have fun building skills without the pressure of too much obedience. This is also an excellent ice breaker before attending a basic class like Level 1 with your dog.

In this class we take it slow, we have fun, and we let our dogs learn all about life at their own pace. Every week we challenge them in new ways, even if its just coming through the door.

Your dog doesn’t have to have attended a class at NMBDT before coming to this class, but should not have outward aggression or reactivity out of fear. Please contact us if you have questions prior to registering. Any age of dog is welcome!

Controlled Unleashed Level 1

Specialty Class

(Dogs aged 4 months and up) 4 weeks $220

Based on Leslie McDevitt’s books “Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog” and “Control Unleashed: Reactive to Relaxed,” Control Unleashed™ is a training program for students and dogs who are ready to strengthen their communication and connection around distractions.

Despite the class title, Control Unleashed is a fun curriculum taught while your dog is on-leash in our huge facility. Turn stress into confidence and distraction into focus.  Build your dog’s ability to relax, focus, and work reliably in either stimulating or stressful situations using training games that increase attention, reduce the power of stressors and the pull of distractions while you and your dog have fun in a friendly, safe, and supportive environment.

With an emphasis on handler focus, impulse control and coming when called in the presence of common distractions, this class is a must for those planning to participate in dog sports like agility, but also for any handler of a young, easily distracted, impulsive or insecure dog. It’s also a great next step for dogs who have just completed reactive rover!

Dogs should have completed a level 1 or get prior approval to take this class!

The Nose Knows – Beginner scent work class

Specialty Class

(Dogs aged 15 weeks and up) 6 weeks $250

Is your dog in need of a job? Ready to put your dog’s sense of smell to the test? Did you know that a dogs nose contains up to 3 million olfactory receptors!?! That’s powerful enough to detect a single drop of liquid in 20 Olympic sized swimming pools! Canine Scentwork, the sport equivalent of what police and military detection canines do, is a great enrichment and confidence building activity for dogs of all ages! In this class your dog will learn to navigate through search areas and interact with novel objects and environments as they use their nose to hunt for the target odor (hidden item). This sport is not only a great way to offer your dog mental stimulation and enrichment, but it’s also an incredibly tool for building partnership between human and dog. Dogs of all ages and physical ability are able to participate in this class. During this class dogs will run one at a time and will be crated or wait in their vehicle in between runs. Due to the structure of this class DINOS** (see below info) are welcome to participate.

 

**DINOS – Dogs In Need Of Space This class is open to reactive dogs with permission from the instructor. Please contact us directly for more information.
