Class DescriptionFetch is one of the most beloved activities shared between dogs and their people. While some pups are born retrievers, others need help learning how to chase, pick up, return, and deliver the ball.
In this class, we’ll build all the essential skills of a great fetch game and give you an introduction to the AKC Fetch title program. Whether your goal is a reliable backyard retrieve or you’re interested in exploring the sport side of fetch, this class is a great place to start. Instructor: Jennifer Hudson Cost: $195.00 for 4 weeks - 1 hour lesson Class StructureAll dogs are welcome—any breed, any age, any experience level. If your dog has basic manners and can participate in an indoor class, they’re ready to join. We’ll teach all the fetch‑related skills they need along the way.
Fetch is a low‑impact activity with no mobility demands, making it an excellent choice for senior dogs, tripod pups, or dogs with physical limitations. While not every dog will have a perfect retrieve by the end of class, all dogs will make progress—and handlers will learn exactly how to continue building skills at home. Dogs who already have strong drive or experience will be introduced to more advanced retrieves, longer distances, and directional work. 
Topics CoveredWe teach a complete foundation of retrieving skills designed to build confidence and enthusiasm in every dog — from beginners to high‑drive naturals.
