students to bring their family members to the classes to watch
the classes so they can learn what the proper techniques are to

What makes K9 Healers unique is that the classes are taught in
Nursing Homes which brings to community into the facility as well
as allowing the Residents to see and talk about dogs and former
pets. This is a winning combination for students as well as the
residents of the facilities. Our classes are fun and motivational
for everyone involved.
The
classes are 7 weeks long for dogs that are appropriate to train
in a residential facility. K-9 Healers classes are held in Long-term
Care Facilities. On Saturday mornings classes are held at the
Fairport Baptist Home in Fairport and on Thursday nights at the
Homestead Nursing Home in Penn Yan. 
Dog
training should be fun for both you and your dog. You will teach
your dog how to heel on a loose leash, come when called, to sit
and lay down on command, and how to behave appropriately in public.
Our class will increase the relationship between you and your
dog, and the Residents enjoy watching the training process.·
