Fun With Agility
Tuesdays @ 8pm
Advent Church (93 @ Broadway basement)
What is Agility Training? Agility is a dynamic sport where a dog races through a series of obstacles in a designated pattern, guided by a handler. The goal is to complete the course accurately and efficiently, aiming for the best time without errors.
At PJH Dog Training, we keep things laid-back and fun! You and your dog will have a blast learning the course and handling techniques together, all while strengthening the bond between you.
Agility training is the ultimate way for your dog to enhance motor skills and body awareness, get essential physical exercise, enjoy mental stimulation, and gain a confidence boost!
We have weave poles, jumps, a handmade 14' see-saw, open and closed tunnels and more!
*Great for well-trained dogs, those with extra energy, anxiety issues, and even for those who need a little extra pep in their step and some focus.
* Suitable for dogs >6 mo of age and any skill level.
*Classes cannot be made up.
**Please bring high and low value treats, and favorite toy!!!
Fun With Agility: $275 for (5) 1-hr classes

Scent/Nose Work
Wednesdays @ 7pm
Advent Church (93 @ Broadway basement)
Harness the awesome super power of smell in this amazing and challenging sport of nose work. During this class we will teach your super sleuth canine detective how to discriminate between different odors and locate then even when the smelly objects are hidden from their view or a present in very low concentrations. It's a lot of fun and is more stimulating mentally than a stroll to the dog park. Perfect activity to wear out your energetic dog and previously trained dog as enrichment.
*Classes cannot be made up.
**Please bring high and low value treats.
Scent/nose work: 350 for (5) 1-hr classes

link: Required Forms
This link will ask you to book a 5 min appointment for which there is no cost (it’s the only way to fill out the forms!). I’ll go back and delete the appointment, just pick any day and time available it doesn’t matter.

Cancellation policies/Late Arrivals
Appointments may be canceled or rescheduled up to 24 hrs in advance without loss of payment (less 3% to cover processing fees).
Cancellations <24 hrs and no call/no shows will forfeit entire prepayment.
Cancellations approved by both parties due to inclement weather or other circumstances will incur no fee and will be rescheduled at the earliest convenience.
Cancellations for Group Classes cannot be refunded or made up due to lack of room availability and feasability.
Late arrivals within reason are allowed - we live in NYC right? However, the session must end at the same time due to lack of room availability.
Late arrivals for outdoor group classes may have to find their own way to the class location. Try to call ahead if running late or to find us.
Weather-related cancellations — Outdoor classes will still be held under very light rain conditions, with heavy rain, every effort will be made to reschedule during the same week or an additional week will be added to the end of the series. Please plan for at least one weather-related cancelation per 5 week series.
Aggressive Dogs
All dogs must be friendly to be in group classes.
Dogs may have to undergo a temperament test if there is a history of aggressive reactivity.
Please let me know if there is any history of aggression to humans or other dogs before class begins because there may be more appropriate training possibilities I can offer!
Aggressive, overly loud dogs will be asked to attend private training sessions rather than group classes.
All dogs can be aggressive, it’s absolutely fine, but let’s work together to prevent accidents and make group class an excellent learning environment for all!
