Cascade Pet Camp in Hood River offers a 2-hour class entitled "How Dogs Learn & Why They Behave Like They Do." This is a great introduction to the topic of dog behavior. Whether you're just starting to build a relationship with your dog, or have had a dog in your household for years, this class is well worth your time.
Part presentation, part fun and games, this "humans only" seminar (dogs do not attend) will give you an insight into the psychology of how dogs learn and the ethology of their natural behavior and motivation.
This seminar is a prerequisite for many of the other classes offered by Cascade Pet Camp.

Puppy Kindergarten
Puppy class is one of the most important classes your dog will ever take. It gets your puppy on the right track early in life with fun training and socialization! You'll learn how to teach your pup good manners such as sitting, lying down, coming when called, walking on a loose leash and playing nicely with others (both people and dogs). You'll also learn how to deal with common puppy issues such as chewing, housetraining, mouthing/biting, and jumping. Classes include lots of structured off-leash socialization with people and puppies. For puppies aged 8-18 weeks.

We emphasize teaching your dog practical obedience that's useful around your home and neighborhood.. Dog skills covered include attention, sit-stay, down-stay, coming when called, walking on leash, politely greeting people and other dogs, drop that, and leave that alone. Behavior problem prevention and fun training games and toys are also covered. For dogs over 16 weeks of age.
