Rally Dog Obedience

LAR Auxiliary Gym Instructor: Holly Bushard

If you love training your dog

and have already accomplished

basic pet manners, Rally

Obedience is the class for you!

Rally obedience picks up where basic obedience leaves off.

Rally obedience takes teams through a constructed course of

obedience moves such as sitting, laying down, turning, and

halting. No experience is necessary! This class will be

informal and fun and is intended for people who have never

tried anything like this before. All that is required is a sense

of humor and a love of dogs. By the end of the class, dogs

will be more focused on their handlers, better on a leash, and

able to perform a wide series of commands. Training for

rally obedience requires very little space, making it an ideal

hobby for keeping you and your dog challenged and engaged

through the upcoming winter months. If you have any

questions, please call Holly at 320-491-3671.

Equipment required: A dog, a collar, and a leash!

Preparing to Volunteer With Dogs

LAR Auxiliary Gym Instructor: Holly Bushard

If you love people and have a friendly and

confident dog, therapy dog work might be

right for you! Therapy dogs visit people in a

variety of settings such as nursing homes,

schools, and hospitals. The goal of the team

is to bring comfort and joy to animal lovers who are

separated from their pets. This class is designed to help

owners decide if their dogs are appropriate for volunteering

and to give them the skills needed to make sure that their

visits are safe and rewarding. Basic obedience skills and a

gentle dog are all that you need to get started. We will

practice the obedience skills that are needed to volunteer and

talk about the various therapy dog organizations that

participants can test with and join. Volunteering with your

dog can be one of the most rewarding things you can do

together. If you have ever been curious about the process,

please consider joining us to learn more!

Dog Obedience Training Classes Sponsored by Lakes Area Recreation

Lakes Area Recreation Gym

Lifetime learning experiences are as important for the canine family members as for the

human members. Three experienced volunteers provide some of this continuing education

for the canine family members (and their owner/trainers) by conducting a series of dog

obedience training classes. Each series of classes runs for six consecutive weeks, and each

weekly session has a separate kindergarten class for puppies and another class for adult dogs.

Only “gentle and reward” training methods are used.

The curriculum will include socialization, basic obedience, and when appropriate, behavior problems will be addressed. The

final fifteen minutes of the hour-long classes include a “recess” period, during which the dogs and the trainers will develop

confidence by having fun on the agility course, consisting of hurdles, ramps, tunnels, and a teeter-totter.

The classes will take place in the Lakes Area Recreation gymnasium at 720 Fillmore Street. If you have any questions,

please call Donna Rae Pugh at (320) 762-8980 or Lakes Area Recreation at (320) 762-2868.

A short note to parents about your

child’s class placement:

It is very important to understand that all

children acquire skills at different rates.

Some children find it easy, while others

take longer to make their bodies respond to what their

brain is trying to tell them. Others may need to work

on strength and flexibility. It should be expected that

a child would take the same level class for about one

year! A child should not feel pressured to move too

quickly through the classes, especially if they are

enjoying it!

A minimum of four participants

are required to hold a class.

rd

6:00 – 7:00 PM Discovery Middle School Cafeteria

Our mission is to increase participation and interest by providing a fun, activity-based elementary practice environment, which emphasizes wrestling fundamentals and connects youth to the varsity wrestling program.

Wrestlers and parents, another wrestling season is almost here! We would like to personally invite you to participate again this year in the Alexandria Elementary Wrestling Program. Our goal is to provide a safe, respectful and fun environment to develop wrestling skills while building a foundation for the Alexandria Wrestling program. Whether you are a highly skilled and seasoned wrestler who participates in a lot of competition, or a wrestler who prefers to only attend practices, wrestling is a great low-cost, sport for families to build their own schedule around.

Benefits of Elementary Wrestling:

Low-cost, low pressure, low commitment

Fits a family’s schedule

Do not need to be ‘athletic’

Great for beginners and experienced wrestlers

Great exercise

Continued opportunities at the high school level to participate on a varsity level team
