C & C Pals

Specialties

The goal of C&C PALS training is «to teach people how to bring out the best in their dogs» using learning theory and humane training skills. A training class should be more than just «obedience». It should be fun and enjoyable, for both dogs and owners alike, and work toward creating a bond of mutual trust and love between an owner and their dog.

All C&C PALS instructors follow well-​designed lesson plans that took years to develop. Classes are small to provide students with individualized attention. Classes include in-​depth handouts to use at home, as well as awards and graduation certificates to motivate and reward accomplishments. All classes are held in indoor facilities for year round comfort.

Classes work on teaching dogs good, basic household manners. Classes teach all the basic cues, but more importantly they help dog owners understand how to get their pets to carry out the cues when asked, in real-​life situations. Socialization is another central part of classes.
