    Several Agility Classes and Playdays are held at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville and in
    Amador County in Pioneer about 12 miles from Jackson, California. Look for upcoming remote locations for
    our Canine Good Citizen Tests in El Dorado and Amador Counties.
Call or e-mail to discuss your dog(s) and your training needs, and get started right away on an
educational and satisfying experience! End up with a confident, well-trained and happy dog
and in the process notice how much you learn about canine psychology and being a
clear, firm, benevolent leader! Your dog will be:
  • Walking calmly on leash and sitting politely to greet people              
  • Coming when called
  • Waiting at gates and doors
  • Staying with distractions
  • Leaving forbidden items alone
  • Turning away from things that previously triggered aggression and overcoming their fear!
  • Playing with compatible dogs . . . having fun!

"I have taken dog training classes from
numerous instructors and learned a great deal
over the years.  However, I have never had a
teacher whom I have learned more from than
Cherie, nor have I ever had such a good time
working with my dog.  Her skills and training
techniques are excellent, but her enthusiasm
and upbeat attitude are what make her stand
out from her competition.  In addition, the
bonding my lab/golden mix, Torch, and I have
experienced has been phenomenal!  It has
made all the difference in Torch's eagerness to
learn, his attention to me and what I expect/want
from him, and his joy while working. I highly
recommend Cherie and Our Furry Friends for all
your dog training needs!"
