Canine Behavior Therapy and Training

Walk This Way Canine Behavior Therapy's group training classes are coming to Queens! Renee Payne has been teaching puppies and adult dogs (and their humans) how to behave in her Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn classes for nine years, and now she's bringing her popular positive reinforcement classes to Long Island City's Camp Bow Wow. Each course is one hour per week for four weeks and is open to puppies and adults. The curriculum covers basic commands (sit, down, stay, come, leave it, drop it, leash walking) and addresses good doggie manners (no mouthing, no jumping, house training).

Her next session starts in February 2011. Email Renee at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you are interested in attending.

Advanced/Focused Issues Training Dates:

• Intermediate Obedience: Wednesday, May 4th at 745pm—one hour in duration, once a week for four weeks—$179.
  • This course takes what your pup learned in basic class and builds on that knowledge. We work to proof the stay and coming when called commands around distraction, teach your dog to do the sit/down/stay commands from a distance, make sure he's listening to you even when he's not looking in your direction, and stop a running dog in his tracks. These classes are open to dogs that have taken our basic class, or that have been evaluated and deemed ready for intermediate training.
• Leash Aggression: Saturday, April 16th at 10am (and 11am if needed)— one hour in duration—$29

Is your dog GREAT at the dog run and doggie daycare...but a bit hard to handle when he/she sees another dog on leash? Want to fix the problem? Or if you have a puppy, wanna PREVENT the problem?
