	Private Training Private training is available for people that want personalized instruction. If the structure of a group class is not for you, maybe private training at your home is what you need. Private training can be tailored for you and your dog, and can be adjusted to your lifestyle and your busy schedule. Private training is suitable for puppies (don't wait to start training your puppy) and dogs of any age. Private sessions are typically schedule about a week apart, but can be adjusted anytime you like. Group Training I offer Group classes for as few as 3 people. Group training is more cost effective than private training, but you do give up flexibility for scheduling sessions.
	If you and two friends would like to train together, please contact me. Classes can be structured for any topic, including puppy training, basic obedience, distraction training, CGC preparation, therapy dog training, and even advanced competition. Class sizes are limited to 6 dogs to insure each person receives personal attention from me. Classes can be held at my home, which is a safe, comfortable environment for you and your dog. We have plenty of space and offer refreshments for you and your dog. Canine Good Citizen Preparation As a professional trainer and CGC evaluator I am committed to promoting the benefits of training dogs.		The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a member of the AKC's Toy group. The dog is an active, graceful, well-balanced toy spaniel, very gay and free in action; fearless and sporting in character, yet at the same time gentle and affectionate. The King Charles Spaniel is a small dog weighing up to 18 pounds. They have a silky coat that is very soft to touch and they have a wonderful temperament, making for a sweet companion dog. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is named after King Charles of Great Britain.
	If you are interested in learning more about how to prepare for the CGC test, please feel free to contact. Please note that if a trainer works with you, they should not test you for the CGC program. Therapy Dog Preparation If you are interested in the possibility of training for the Delta Society Pet Partner therapy dog evaluation, please contact me. As a long time Pet Partner and Licensed Evaluator, I am well prepared to help train you and your dog for this program. Note that not all dogs are suitable of animal-assisted therapy. Your dogs temperament is the most important consideration for this kind of training.
