This program is currently only available to established rescues in a foster placement; it is an obedience foundation program that will open the lines of communication between humans and dogs. The ultimate goal of this program is adoption. Good Dog B&T tuition covers the following:
- An electronic training collar system.
- Leashes for walking and for training.
- Additional collars as needed during training.
- Daily lessons, practice sessions, play dates, open gym and/or field trips during a two-week stay at Stonehill. These will begin privately at the classroom and then expand to include other dogs and public places. Normally within this time frame dogs will be approved for group class, open gym, play dates and special events.
- Three follow up lessons at the classroom.
Once approved and with continued appropriate behavior, dogs may participate for life in any or all scheduled classes, open gym, playdates and/or special events at no additional cost.
Currently, group classes are held on Sunday mornings at 10:00 and on Tuesday evenings at 6:00. The location changes to different parks and dog-friendly establishments. Details about group classes, special events, playdates, social lessons and open gym schedules are available in our Facebook group.
