Class Descriptions

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 these four classes we will cover:

the best motivator. Please note this class is taught with the goal of achieving High attention
and drive 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)
