Attention I Class w/ Ann Marie Scripko

Rising Star Puppies, Attention I , II and III classes are geared towards building a solid
relationship between you and your dog. I aim towards teaching active attention for Obedience,
Agility or any other sport you wish to do with your dog. The goal of this class is to have a solid
foundation to build upon for any sport you want to do with your dog. Our goals are good
relationship with your dog, where he is attentive to you, ignores distractions at new locations
and focuses on staying with you, actively waiting for your next command .Over the course of

for competition dogs, not just pet dog. Some of the games may cause behaviors that you
would not want for your typical pet dog. This can include begging for food, jumping on people,
tugging that can build drive and barking. If any of these are concerns for you, please let me
know and we can modify them. ( it will minimize the effect)
