Why Don't The Classes Have A Start And End Time? aka: "What The Heck Is Open Enrollment?!?"
Open enrollment is a way of running class so that no one is "locked out" while they wait for a class start date to begin. We understand that when you want your dog trained, you want him trained NOW.
So with our system, you can start at any time, and work at your own pace, within the class level.
For example - in a beginner class when we work on "Sit", one person might be luring their dog into a sit, another may be asking for a Sit from the end of a 6' leash, and another may be working on a sit in motion. Everyone works at their own pace. Plus, we’ve noticed when a student sees dogs in more advanced stages of training, they’re inspired to put in the time to get their own dog to that level.
Plus - you don't have the chaos associated with 6 new dogs all in a class for the first time. Your dog is new, but there are others who've been there for 1, 2 or 5 weeks, so they're cool, calm and collected. New dogs will pick up on the calm vibe and be more relaxed and ready to learn. In addition, even though your dog may not have the issue that the dog next to you is dealing with, if you ever do, you’ll remember how we fixed it in class. Training for the dog you have now, and the dog you may have in the future.
If I Miss A Class, I Don’t Lose A Class?
Nope. We don’t think you should be penalized for life getting in the way. You buy 6 classes and when you attend 6 classes, you renew. Not a second sooner.
What Do You Mean “I’m Not Locked Into The Class Day and Time I Signed Up For”?
We know your life is busy and you want your dog to behave. Why make it harder by limiting your ability to come to class? If you can’t make it to your usual class, find one of the same level, and come to that one. Meet new people, new dogs, and keep your training on track.
After 6 Weeks, My Dog Is Trained?
Your dog will be BETTER than he was 6 weeks ago, but he won’t be done training. Reliable, off leash training is longer than a 6 week adventure, but it will be fun and totally worth it. And ps: if you practice, it will go ever quicker!
