Target Training
Course Description: Target Training allows you and your dog to focus your training on 1 or 2 specific behaviors – things you either need to work on for pet therapy visiting or behaviors you are having trouble with at home. There are 4 cases when this type of class would be appropriate for you:

if you aren’t a PAWS member and want to work on a couple of “non-aggressive” behaviors
if you are concerned your pet needs to work on a few behaviors before coming to a PAWS’ orientation.
if you need help with just a couple of the commands required for STEX certification after a PAWS’ Orientation, or
if you need some help polishing a particular behavior to advance your level of STEX certification.
