Pet owners who want to train and develop a closer connection with their dogs may find the answer at training classes at the Granny Rose K-9 Enrichment Center.

The next classes, with the exception of Agility, will start the week of Jan. 10 at the Granny Rose K-9 Enrichment Center, 613 River Lane, Dixon.

Agility classes start the week of Jan. 16.

Classes available include Obedience, Agility, Ring Ready obedience, Conformation and Puppy Training Classes, plus, the addition of an all new Treadmill class.

A six-week course schedule is $90 with exception of any dog adopted from Granny Rose, or any other local animal shelter or rescue within the last year, which will be charged only $60 for their choice of a one-time class offering.

The training facility welcomes all breeds and mixes.

It offers classes at all levels of obedience, household manners, agility, conformation and more.

Instructors use varying training methods and techniques to best achieve the goals of each individual class.

“We are not a one size fits all facility. Our instructors use varying training methods and techniques to best achieve the goals of each individual class,” said Granny Rose President Mark Knie. “Our goal is to help you achieve your goal — to further enrich the experience between you and your dog, from house breaking and socialization of your puppy, to advanced skills for those wishing to compete at the highest levels.”

The enrichment center is a 13,500 square foot facility that offers more than 10,000 square feet of Astroturf working area plus a non-skid rubber matted area.

The building is both heated and cooled for year-round training for every discipline that area dog owners wish to participate in.
