Open Skills Class

This class allows participants to easily train their dogs to the level they desire, in whatever amount of time their schedule permits. This class is an ongoing class that meets nearly every week. Each week a new skill or skills will be taught. The series of lessons will repeat every couple of months, so if you miss one of the classes, you can pick it up again later.

Attain as many skills as you desire with your dog. Participants will also be given the opportunity to test their dogs on the skills they learn, and receive Certificate of Accomplishment when the dog demonstrate they understand the skill and can do it reliably. And for those over-achievers, if you complete a high number of skills you can become one of Atlanta K9 Academy's Shining Stars.

This class meets on Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm. The cost will be on a per lesson basis, so participants can complete as many or as few classes as they want to achieve the desired level of training for their dog. Pre-registration is required before you attend your first class. Cost $15 per class.
