Basic Dog Obedience Training
Starts Monday,
October 5, 7:00 -8:00 pm
The majority of the dog training is done on-leash. At the end of this phase
your dog will know Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Down, Off, Leave it, and Place.
Your dog will follow all these commands during distractions and without food
bribes. When in heel (walk next to me) your dog will happily pay attention
to which directions you choose to walk and stay with you. During Basic
Obedience you will never hit or yell at your dog. All corrections are done
(sparingly) and copious amounts of praise and love will be used to reinforce
wanted behavior.

Canine Nosework Class
K9 Nosework starts Monday, October 5, 8:00 -9:00 pm
A brand new sport and skill for you and your dog. Dogs learn to find a
target odor and tell you they have found it.
Dogs have an amazing sense of smell and a natural desire to hunt. This class
focuses on teaching you how to encourage and develop your dog’s natural
scenting abilities by using their desire to hunt and their love of toys,
food and exercise. It's a great class for your dog to have fun, build
confidence, and burn lots of mental and physical energy and to find out just
how good is your dog’s nose.

Hamilton-Wenham School of Dance
will be opening a second studio upstairs at the Community House
this September. The main studio will still be located in the Shoppes at
Hamilton Crossing, where many of the creative movement and middle and high
school dance classes will be held. The Community House studio will be
primarily for ballet classes for first, second and third graders as well as
some Modern Dance for 5th and 6th graders.
If you'd like to see a schedule of all the classes and find out more about
the school, visit her website at
Hamilton Wenham School of Dance There is a tab giving information about
the Community House programs as well as information about faculty,
tuition, dress code and more.
Hamilton-Wenham School of Dance was founded
in 1992 by Katy Brunault, with only 12 students in the main hall at the Community House. As
more classes were added the school moved over to the upstairs space in the
plaza. The enrollment has since grown to 325 students taking classes in
ballet, pointe, modern dance, jazz and creative movement. The resident
company, Allegro Dance Ensemble, has performed in area schools and at the
Community House for various events.
The instructors at HWSD teach correct technique while instilling a love of
dance in their students. The emphasis is on expression and artistry rather
than competition. Performance opportunities are available to older students
including recitals, participation in local performances of "The Nutcracker,"
and community events. High school students with significant experience in
ballet can audition for Allegro Dance Ensemble, the resident company of
HWSD.
Katy Brunault, Director of
Hamilton-Wenham School of Dance, welcomes phone calls from interested people
who would like to enroll in the classes. Call 978-468-2393 for more
