Does your dog have C.L.A.S.S.?
C.L.A.S.S. (Canine Life and Social Skills) is an educational program designed to promote training focused on the use of positive reinforcement and to strengthen relationships between humans and their canine companions. The mission of C.L.A.S.S. is to promote positive relationships through positive training methods. This approach both develops and safeguards harmonious relationships by maintaining trust with our pet dogs.
You and your dog can earn your Bachelor’s (B.A.), Master’s (M.A.), or Doctorate (PhD) by registering and participating in a C.L.A.S.S. evaluation. Successfully completing each C.L.A.S.S. level is like earning an academic degree in real-life skills with your dog.
Why Should I Participate in a C.L.A.S.S. Course or Evaluation?
- The skills learned can be applied in a wide range of real life situations.
- C.L.A.S.S. Instructors and Evaluators strive to create an open, supportive environment for you and your dog.
- The games and positive training methods make training your dog fun.
- C.L.A.S.S. provides an opportunity to show off your dog’s talents.
- Training in a positive environment helps you build a better bond with your dog.

Apart from enrolling at Canine Behavioural School Inc., visit the C.L.A.S.S. website at www.mydoghasclass.com or visit the web site of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) at www.apdt.com (this is the US site, we hope that the Australian APDT will follow suit soon).
