168 7th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues in Park Slope • Puppy Parties - $15 - 7pm-9pm on the first Friday of every month - The Brooklyn Dog Training Center hosts monthly puppy parties for pups under six months of age (and their humans). We believe that puppies need socialization as well as training, and that's what these parties are for. Bring some wine, beer, or soda (it IS a party) and watch your puppy frolic. Parties will be supervised by Renee or Sarah from the BDTC. Pre-registration through the BDTC site is required. Click here to reserve your space. Check us out on NBC's Today Show.
• Level 1 Training for puppies & adults - $180 - 1 hour per week for 4 weeks -- These classes cover basic commands (sit, down, stay, leave it, drop it, come) as well as addressing good doggie manners (mouthing, chewing, jumping, barking, housetraining). The curriculum is the same for both the puppy and adult classes. Puppy class is for dogs under six months of age & adult class is for dogs over six months of age; the first class is an orientation but dogs DO attend with you. Age-appropriate / size-appropriate social time is set aside during each class. START DATES:
• Level 2 Training - $180 - 1 hour per week for 4 weeks -This course takes what your dog learned in the Level 1 class and builds on that knowledge. We work to proof the stay and coming when called commands around distraction, teach your dog to do the sit/down/stay commands from a distance, make sure he’s listening to you even when he’s not looking in your direction, and stop a running dog in his tracks. START DATES:
SEMINARS - $30 per dog and one hour in duration • Come and Play (for puppies!) - Designed for puppies under six months of age, this seminar combines social time with working on establishing a reliable recall in your little one.
• Shy Dog Social Hour - Designed for adult dogs in need of a little socialization with other dogs. This seminar is NOT for dogs who are actively aggressive to other dogs. We're looking for the little wallflowers. If you aren't sure if your dog would fit, please call or email us to ask.
•New Baby Seminar - (for humans only - no dogs) Planning on starting a family? Concerned about your dog's reaction to a new baby in the house? We'll teach you how to prepare Fido for the baby's arrival, make the change in his life as smooth as possible, and offer tips on how to keep the peace once your baby starts to move around.
• **Leash Aggression / Leash Reactive Seminar - Is your dog GREAT at the dog run and doggie daycare but a bit hard to handle when he/she sees another dog on leash? This seminar is appropriate for dogs who are aggressive OR just overly-excited -- the approach is the same.
**A portion of this seminar does take place outside, so please dress appropriately! • Wheel Aggression Seminar - Are skateboard, rollerblades, & granny carts your dog's enemy? We have all of those things. Bring your dog and your bag of chicken and come on down.
• **Leash Walking Seminar - Do you want your dog to be more interested in YOU when you're out for a walk, walk politely on a loose leash, heel (!) and deal with distractions?
**A portion of this seminar does take place outside, so please dress appropriately! • That's Mine! - Does your dog pick up every chicken bone on the street? Does he attempt to guard these found treasures (or his own toys or bones) when you try and take them away? This seminar will help establish a reliable “drop it” and work to lesson your dog’s anxiety about you coming near his possessions. LIMITED TO FOUR DOGS PER SEMINAR.

• New Dog Seminar - (for humans only - no dogs) Got a new dog or puppy? Not quite sure what you've gotten yourself into? Or are you planning on getting a new dog and want to be fully prepared BEFORE Fido arrives?

• Separation Anxiety Seminar - (for humans only - no dogs) Can't leave the house without your dog barking, destroying things or eliminating? Can't tie him up outside a café and run in for a coffee?
• Fear Aggression Seminar - (for humans only - no dogs) Does your dog do his best to scare off visitors? Neighbors in the hallway? Does a friendly approach from a stranger send him into a panic?
• The Nose Knows (Level 1) - Why do dogs always use their noses to get into trouble? Redirect that trash-surfing, crotch-sniffing nose and teach your dog to use his sniffer for things you WANT him to use it for. This level one course will teach you how to channel your dog's natural scenting abilities! LIMITED TO FOUR DOGS PER SEMINAR.
• Trick Seminar - Make your dog into the life of the party with NINE cool tricks! (The dogs must know how to do a "down" in order to complete all nine tasks.)
• CGC Testing - Get your dog AKC certified as a Canine Good Citizen! The test takes a few minutes, and the requirements can be seen here. The one hour seminars are JUST the test with a short refresher. The workshop is a prep class in the first week, then a refresher and the big test the following week.
• "Just for Little Dogs" Seminar (for humans only - no dogs) Small dogs experience the world from a whole different level, and this seminar addresses the problems and concerns of the "under 20 pound" crowd.
