BORDERHAUSS KENNELS
Located 30 min. NW of Ann Arbor, MI

Borderhauss Kennels teaches positive reinforcement training. We use lots of treats, toys, praise, and fun but, still have consistently high expectations. Since these are small classes you will have one-on-one guidance to give you a new approach to common behavior problems while learning dog sports. Typical group classes are too large; there are many small details that help your dog learn to be more efficient and consistent.  If you are unsure which class is right for you, please feel free to call, email, or come out for an evaluation.  These classes are designed to help you and your dog with whatever you need. We are flexible and tend to cater the classes toward your dog. We have a large venue to offer multiple dog activities and lessons. Our agility classes are indoors in a 4000 sq. ft. dirt arena.

As we get our facility up and running, we will begin with private lessons and only a few classes at this time.  Please plan on arriving early to potty your pup before entering the training building.  This is a dirt floor but it's a no pee zone and we look forward to many, many years of pee free training.  Thanks for your help.

Remember: Come rain or shine, we're indoors

This is a class designed to help you start agility.  We will work on introducing all the obstacles, basic obedience to use during agility, and proper motivation and rewards.  We help you learn to teach your pup how to be safe on all obstacles and yet, love it!!  Any dog can do agility, but how many look like they love it and want to keep running!  If you have never done agility before, then this is the class for you.
