SUMMARY:Obedience: Beginner
DESCRIPTION:The skills taught in this class that are necessary to move up to the next level are:\n1.) Limited use of luring\n2.) Automatic sits during heeling\n3.) Down on command\n4.) Heeling appropriately during a simple heeling pattern\n5.) Handler is able to walk around the dog to heel position when returning to dog from a stay (dog remains in Sit position)\n6.) Sit for exam\n7.) 30 second sit/stay and down/stay\n8.) An on leash recall \nOur training method is to mark & reward correct behavior\, so food rewards will be used. For information about any of our Obedience classes contact the Training Hall Secretary.

SUMMARY:Nose Work: Intermediate | Advanced
DESCRIPTION:Nose Work was developed to provide all dogs with an outlet to use their natural hunting and scenting abilities and is modeled after working detector dogs. All dogs can take part in a nose work class; young\, healthy\, old\, timid\, or reactive. The purpose of nose work is to engage the dog in the game\, teach the handler how to read their dog\, and build a team relationship all while having fun. The sport and instructors of K9 Nose Work® are overseen by the National Association of Canine Scent Work. \nBefore you say “yes” or “no” to taking a Nose Work class\, there is one hard and fast rule that we must insist on — all dogs must be crated or in your car when they are not searching. There are two reasons for this: \n\nNose work is instinctual for dogs. Any dog near the search area could be perceived as competition and could change a dog’s behavior. Safety first!\nSo much can be learned by observing another dog’s work and you really can’t do that if you are focusing on your own dog.\n\nPlease note: All teams new to nose work have a wait list and limited spaces are available to experienced teams. Contact the Director of Nose Work (jadoes55@gmail.com) to be added to the wait list. \nMore Information: \nIf you would like information about nose work or information about classes at NOCI\, please contact Jim Doescher directly at jadoes55@gmail.com. \nFor more information on Nose Work in general\, you can go to www.NACSW.net.

SUMMARY:Obedience: Open
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisite: The dog must have earned at least one leg in the Novice class toward their CD\, be holding and retrieving the dumbbell\, and be started on the Drop on Recall\, or with the approval of the NOCI Director of Training. \nAll skills introduced in the Pre-Open class will be refined so that eventually the dog can compete at the Open level in AKC or UKC. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSkills:\n\nThe drop on recall\nThe command discrimination exercise (stand\, sit\, & down from a distance)\nIntroducing the dumbbell to the dog\, and how to get them to hold it\nThe retrieve on the flat & retrieve over the high jump\nThe recall over the broad jump\nThe open version of the stay and get the leash exercise\nVariations of these exercises that are used in the UKC Open class\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Agility: Beginner
DESCRIPTION:This class continues the elemental work from the Foundation class and builds on it towards full size equipment. The curriculum will progress with a focus on Distance\, Distraction\, and Duration of training behaviors that will be built in agility. These are the 3D’s of training a fluid performance in the future. In this class the A-frame will be going upwards towards a full height when dogs are confident as well as the dog walk. Teeter banging and climbing will be built towards performing a complete teeter. Jump work will continue with small skill sets building up towards sequencing. Participants in this class will be directed to add a jump towards weaves and a jump toward contacts and vice versa when teams are ready. Dogs will begin to perform angles towards obstacles and turns upon exits. Handlers will learn to train and perform common sequences to add confidence for the dogs towards doing coursework. Progress in weave-pole training with emphasis on this continuing at home to allow for a confident weaver will be ongoing. \nNote\, it is difficult to train a dog to weave in a once-a-week class\, so it is VERY important for teams to follow up at home or a rental time with this as homework. \nHandlers will continue with handling skills on an ongoing basis with importance on connection with the dog\, cuing the obstacles\, and support of those cues to help the dog with commitment. Obstacle discrimination will be introduced. The handler will learn how to change directions with a post turn\, a front cross\, a rear cross\, and a blind cross is. The handler will begin to learn how and when to perform these handling moves. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisite: Previous foundation class and director/instructor approval.
