Dogs who attend Daycare may attend our Doggie Day School program to teach basic obedience and etiquette such as; name recognition, sit, down, come, wait, leave it, drop it and loose leash walking.  For part of the Daycare day your dog will spend time separate from the playgroup with a trainer.  After the lesson your dog will be returned to the playgroup to hang out with friends.

You will receive handling sessions when you pick your dog up at the end of the day to help you learn how to reinforce the commands and teach your pet dog how to follow through with the training.  see doggie daycare
 

Cost: $200.00 for 10 days or $50.00 per day

Additionally, we'll teach your puppy proper house etiquette and preparatory obedience commands (sit, down, come, settle, wait, rest, etc.).  We will begin positive socialization with other dogs, people, cats, loud noises and more.  The course also covers puppy problem solving (jumping, chewing, digging, play biting, etc.).  You will learn the proper way to communicate with and motivate your puppy.

COMMANDS are taught in English, German, Dutch or French, owners choice

Dogs in Continuing Education

(DICE)

Free Drop-In Classes (Life-Time Maintenance)
After you have completed one of Rolling Meadows Academy's dog training programs, you are welcome to join us Monday evenings at the Academy, or various locations in the Piedmont/Triad. For one hour we practice the various commands your dog has learned. At the end of class, puppy play time begins—what an awesome sight! The Free (DICE) Classes are held rain or shine on the 1st Monday of every month. There is no charge for this service and it is valid for the lifetime of your dog.

Options:

Training DVD (the trainer will explain proper handler skills as your dogs training is taped throughout the classes). Add $50.00
Training Collar Add $15.00

Rest Command (go to a designated place and lie down on his bed, rug, mat, pillow, etc. and rest) Add $25.00  

Congratulations! You graduated from Beginner Obedience. Now let's cement prior skills and teach new exercises. Highly recommended for all dogs.  

Option 3:  Our 8 Week Intermediate Obedience & Etiquette School will help both dog and handler reinforce the lessons learned in Basic Obedience and prepare for Advanced Obedience.  The Intermediate Obedience School will focus on communication, attention, and teaching your dog how to learn while under distractions. Participants will learn to use reward markers (verbal cues) and targeting as important tools in improving existing obedience skills and developing new ones. Dogs and handlers will take the basics – sit, down, stay, walking on lead and recall – to new heights, with attention focused on the handler, a considerable increase in duration and precision, plus the addition of high-level distractions. New skills will include heel on-lead, an emergency drop/down (with the dog and handler in motion), stand for examination and ‘go to your (place).’ Dog/handler teams will build knowledge, as well as their relationship, and leave class with valuable skills that will last a lifetime. Dogs will be working towards off-leash control by the end of the training course.

3 Week Sleepover - VIP (Very Important Pets)
In-School training is available in our private canine cottage on a limited basis. Guests are treated as family members, and every effort is made to ensure an enjoyable and stress free stay. For those dogs staying for the sleepover, they get their own individual room, complete with all their luxuries brought from home. This service is an ideal option for dogs that may have a difficult time adjusting to a boarding kennel, and for owner’s who prefer a more personal environment for their companion. A stay in our canine cottage might be compared to a “Bed & Breakfast”.  Every effort is made to stick closely to your dog’s daily routine, as consistency reduces stress. Guests are exercised twice daily, and have the option of playing with other dogs if they desire. In-School Sleepover guests are constantly working on obedience and behavior skills throughout the day, given ample personal attention, and good manners are always encouraged.
