 Our dogs leave their paw prints on our hearts, through their unconditional love and the desire to be with us. D’Ellia’s Canine Care & Gifts Dog Training classes, whether private or in class environment, are more than just learning basic commands to help your doggie family member become better behaved, ALL classes, private and public are about ENRICHING your relationship with your doggie family member. We look forward to teaching you and your family dog wonderful skills as well as teaching you ways to enhance this special relationship that exists between you and your family pet. Our teaching philosophy is to keep ALL of our classes small in order to provide a nurturing and caring environment for students and their family dogs. By having classes of only six student and pet dog teams, we are able to offer classes where instructors are attentive to your learning needs and style. With all learning, a sense of humor is critical, and our instructors can help you learn best by teaching you positive reinforcement techniques, how to shape behavior that you like from your dog. We are NOT about having classes that are large and overwhelming for our student and pet dog teams. We have found, through our own personal experiences, that large classes can leave folks feeling like they have not learned anything thus give up on basic training all together. Our classes are small and nuturing. ONLY 6 students per class to provide all students and pets the resources to reach relationship and training goals. All instructors are AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluators. Public Classes are 6 weeks long, $135.00, Class locations and schedules are in development, please call or email for information Private Basic good manners lessons in the home, 1-hr sessions $45.00, MINUMUM OF 4 PRIVATE SESSIONS, no exceptions Private Training Consultation: $60.00 per hour. www.DelliasCanineCare.com / 540-907-4121 AVAILABLE CLASSES A WHOLE NEW WORLD!
