SUMMARY:Dog Training Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:These fun\, informative\, and accessible workshops are great for brushing up on skills or exploring something new! Dogs of all ages and skill levels are welcome. They must be group-appropriate and comfortable working around other dogs and people. All workshops use positive reinforcement\, force-free training methods\, focusing on building confidence\, communication\, and trust while keeping learning enjoyable for your dog. See the full line up and register at sycparks.org or stop by the Community Center\, 480 Airport Road\, Sycamore. \nSaturdays 9-11amCommunity CenterResident $65 | Nonresident $75 \nInstructor: Katie Morgan\, ABCDT (Animal Behavior College Dog Trainer)\, Forever K9 Training \nMay 2Intro to Beginner Canine FitnessBuilding strength\, balance\, coordination\, and body awareness is a great way to support overall health\, help reduce injury risk\, and enhance performance for pets\, sport dogs\, and working or therapy dogs alike. \nMay 16Canine ParkourCanine parkour is a fun and practical activity that builds confidence\, body awareness\, and teamwork. Using everyday\, safe obstacles\, dogs will learn how to navigate their environment with purpose while responding to clear handler cues. This introduction to basic parkour prioritizes safety\, proper positioning\, and positive reinforcement. \nMay 30Brain Games: Enrichment for DogsLearn brain games designed to provide meaningful mental stimulation and enrichment. Mental exercise is just as important as physical activity\, helping dogs build problem-solving skills\, confidence\, and emotional balance. Brain games are suitable for dogs of all ages and especially helpful for dogs who need additional enrichment\, confidence-building\, or structured outlets for their energy. \nJune 13Basic Canine First AidGain essential knowledge and skills to respond calmly and effectively during common canine emergencies\, including recognizing signs of injury or illness\, providing immediate care\, and knowing when veterinary attention is needed. This workshop does not replace veterinary care but equips participants with the tools to support their dog until professional help is available. Please note that this is not a first aid certification class. \nJune 27Paws for Poses: Photo Ready Tricks ClassThese tricks aren’t only fun to learn but also perfect for photos and social media. Whether you’re looking to capture holiday photos\, action shots\, or everyday memories\, this class helps you teach clean\, expressive behaviors that photograph beautifully. \nJuly 11Intro to Beginner Level TricksThis beginner-level tricks class introduces dogs and handlers to fun\, engaging behaviors that build confidence\, coordination\, and communication. Trick training is more than entertainment—it strengthens the human-dog bond\, improves focus\, and gives dogs a positive outlet for learning and problem-solving. \nJuly 25Muzzles: The Canine Party HatMuzzles are valuable tools for veterinary visits\, grooming\, emergencies\, public safety\, and behavior support—and when introduced correctly\, dogs can learn to feel comfortable and confident wearing them. Explore the purpose\, benefits\, and proper use of muzzles in a safe\, humane\, and positive way. \nAugust 8Peak into MantrailingMantrailing is a scent-based activity where dogs learn to follow a specific human scent trail. It taps into a dog’s natural ability to use their nose while building confidence\, focus\, and teamwork. Unlike other scent sports\, mantrailing allows dogs to work in a natural\, methodical way\, using both ground and airborne scent. The class emphasizes clear communication\, leash handling\, and reading your dog’s body language as they work. \nAugust 22Shed Hunting WorkshopShed hunting is an excellent way to provide both mental and physical enrichment while strengthening your dog’s focus\, confidence\, and working drive. Learn the fundamentals of locating naturally dropped deer antlers using scent\, search patterns\, and teamwork. \nDog Training Workshops
