Come learn to live with your puppy or dog!
Dog Training
Studies show that of the nearly 4 million dogs that enter the shelter system in a year, 30% are surrendered due to behavioral problems. De-Tails Training wants to help you teach your dog to become part of the family so he doesn’t become part of the system!
Some skills we’ll cover in class
• Reliable Recall: Learn how to teach your dog to come when called, no matter what the distraction. This can be a lifesaver!
• How to Greet a Stranger: Learn how to teach your dog to greet visitors politely instead of pouncing on them!
• Walking on a Leash: That’s walking nicely at your side, not doing their best sled dog impression!
• Sit, Down, Stay: Of course you need the doggy basics!
• Leave it: Useful for when you drop your medicine, or your lunch!
This 8 week course will show you how to make training your dog fun—for you and your dog! We use positive methods that encourage your dog to think and problem solve. Training becomes a game and a great bonding experience!

Gymnastics
Gymnastics is one of the most beneficial activities you can enroll your child in. The physical elements that can be built through gymnastics are amazing – spatial awareness, flexibility, relative strength, dynamic and static balance, and more. If for no other reason, the ability to know where you are in space and take a fall ‘well’ is a required skill for any sport.
Having quality coaches at the helm of this activity is imperative. That is why we bring Owego Gymnastic Academy coaches here. Coach Annie is safety certified through USAgymnastics, as well as CPR and First Aid certified. She has almost 25 years of experience working with the OGA and was a gymnast before that. Annie attended college on a gymnastics scholarship. She brings great knowledge and energy to the Spencer program. Jana Bowen is the president and director of Owego Gymnastics Activity and Learning center and has 26 years coaching this sport.
