Class information
The Sierra-Tuolumne Kennel Club offers several 8-week sessions throughout the year. Classes are held on Wednesday evenings at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds in Sonora California.
The Club offers the following classes. Please note that not all classes are offered each session.
Puppy, which is for puppies which have their first set of shots. This class teaches good puppy manners and dog ownership, helps answer some of your questions, and develops great social skills for the puppy. This is a great start before going on to the Basic Class.
Basic/Canine Good Citizen, which offers an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Certificate upon Graduation. In this class, your dog will learn to walk nicely on lead, come, sit, stay, down, along with other skills.
Intermediate - This class will be for those students who would like to possibly pursue an obedience degree on their dog or prepare their dog for the Rally class. All AKC competition Novice obedience class exercises will be taught. Some Novice level Rally exercises will be introduced. Class size is limited to 15 dogs. Goal will be to prepare the students and their dogs to compete at either the Sub-Novice or Novice level in competitions. Pre-requisite is a Basic obedience class either through the Sierra-Tuolumne Kennel Club or another training facility.
Rally - This class prepares you to enter an American Kennel Club Rally competition. It is the next step after either taking the Basic Class, or the Intermediate session. Rally is a new event with AKC and is becoming very popular! Be sure to pre-register for this class, since it fills FAST!
Conformation - This class is geared for those students who are interested in showing their dog (or a future dog) in the conformation show ring. A purebred dog is not necessary, but the dog should be comfortable being handled by others, and non-aggressive towards other dogs.
