We offer a range of programs for adults which include art classes, sports programs, and fitness and exercise classes geared toward adults. You’re never too old to learn something new, pursue a lifelong interest, or keep your body moving!
Dog Obedience
Big Sky Dog Training
These classes are designed to review commands and increase the difficulty of exercises (commands) by extending the time and distance for each command. At each lesson, you will be able to focus on your concerns, like housebreaking, chewing, and barking to name a few. This class will teach you how to effectively train your dog while getting your dog to merge into your schedule and lifestyle.
Creative Paws
Creative Paws teaches the basics of obedience including sit, down, stand, recall (coming when called), stay, and heel — everything your companion dog needs to know? Both verbal commands and hand signals will be used. Dogs of any age may take this class. Positive reinforcement techniques will be used, so please bring food rewards or a small toy with you to class. No retractable leashes are allowed.
Music
Private Music Classes
Choose one instrument or many! Learn how to sing and/or play the piano, violin, drums, ukulele, bass guitar, banjo, mandolin, and percussion, all in a fun and creative way! Our unique approach is structured entirely around the student’s needs. Regardless of age or skill level, we educate our students with a strong musical foundation, learning the theory as well as the fundamentals of music!
