Benefits of Personal Training
Serious athletes have long used personal trainers to enhance their performance in competition. Movie
stars are known to hire personal trainers to keep them ftting into their Oscar gowns. But the people who
beneft most from personal training are ordinary men and women seeking to be stronger and function more
effectively in their everyday lives.
Working with a trainer, anyone can achieve their ftness goals goals as modest as touching
your toes again or as ambitious as preparing to run a marathon. Whether you want to lose
weight, regain fexibility, develop speed or simply feel good again, personal training is an
activity that you will continue to reap benefts in years to come.
Our personal trainers main objectives are to assist, guide, and educate those who
wish to experience a greater ease and physical ability in their lives.

Midwest Fencing Academy
Fencing demands a blend of tactical and
strategic thought and a physical execution
of those decisions. This has led many to
describe the sport as physical chess.
Fencing also teaches balance and discipline
and even more than this, its fun! Fencing is
for those new to fencing or those who would
like to work on the basic skills of fencing.
This class will cover basic fencing rules,
fencing etiquette, basic footwork, attacks,
and defenses. Classes will consist of warm
up time, footwork time, group lesson and
bouting. Equipment is provided.

Traditional Karate is a martial art which emphasizes the principles and applications of weaponless self-defense. Our Karate Program
follows a systemized belt ranking for all participants. There are 11 belt levels (kyu) before frst-degree black belt (shodan). A new student
is assigned the white belt rank (eleventh kyu). One must fulfll certain requirements under normal practice conditions and in a test
environment to secure progressive promotions up to and including the black belt (dan) levels. When one has acquired a strong foundation
in the fundamentals of Karate, he or she can be promoted to the rank of frst degree black belt.
Uniforms, belt tests and tournaments. are optional and will incur additional costs.

Instructor: Eileen and Laura
Yoga teaches teenagers how to navigate through the many
social and academic demands and is a place of calm in the storm.
Yoga increases strength and fexibility; a workout in itself or a
perfect complement to athletics. Yoga builds confdence, self-
esteem and a healthy awareness of ones body in a noncompeti-
tive environment. It is proven that yoga calms the mind and
the nervous system through breath and moving meditation. In
addition, yoga is sometimes just plain fun, downright silly, and
a great playlist doesnt hurt!

Page 44 Dog Obedience Fall 2012
D O G O B E D I E N C E
Puppy Class is designed to provide a positive environment for
socialization of puppies to a wide variety of people as well as to
each other. Early socialization has been shown to greatly reduce the
incidence of both human-directed aggression and dog-dog aggression,
as well as anxiety and fear based behavior problems. Additional
topics will be discussed such as addressing the common puppy issues
of house training, mouthing, leadership and preventing behavior
problems. Puppies will also learn sit and begin recall training (coming
when called). This class is appropriate for puppies ages 24 months
old. Dogs must have received at least two rounds of vaccinations
prior to attending. If your dog has not yet received the second round,
please plan to attend class without your pGruppy until the second
round of vaccination has been administered.
Obedience 101 teaches the basics of obedience: sit, down, stand,
recall (coming when called), stay, and heeleverything 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.
Obedience 102 is focused on honing the skills of Obedience 101.
Additional levels of diffculty and distractions will be added. Dogs
of any age may enroll provided they have a basic knowledge of basic
obedience commands: sit, down, recall (coming when called), stay,
and heel.
Canine Good Citizen (CGC) class covers the 10 aspects of the
AKC CGC test, the only AKC certifcate available to all dogspure-
and mix-breed. The CGC program is designed to encourage dog
owners to train their dogs to be Canine Good Citizens and includes
the following: accepting a friendly stranger; walking on a loose lead;
sitting politely for petting; allowing basic grooming procedures;
walking through a crowd; sitting and lying down on command
and staying in place; coming when called; reacting appropriately to
another dog; reacting appropriately to distractions; calmly enduring
supervised separation from the owner. The CGC test is administered
on the last night of class. Children training dogs must be at least 12
years old. Dogs must wear a fat buckle collar for the test, no training
collars, head halters or body harnesses are permitted during the test.
Rally is a fun spin on traditional obedience for both the dog and
the handler. Rally is a sport in which ALL dogs are encouraged
to participate. Purebred or mixed breed, every dog can learn the
fundamentals for Rally. Dogs must have strong heeling skills to
take this course. In rally an enthusiastic attitude and wagging tail
are as important as precision. In fact, handlers are not only allowed
to, but encouraged to positively reinforce their dogs during the
competition with verbal praise, petting, and even food rewards!
Dogs and handlers should both appear to be enjoying the work and
each others company.
Creative Paws, Inc. was founded in 2001 by Ashlee Trotter,
BS, CPDT-KA, and provides group classes and private lessons
for dog obedience training and behavior problems. She has been
recognized for several years as a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator
by the American Kennel Club and a Certifed Pet Dog Trainer
(CPDT-KA) by the Certifcation Council for Pet Dog Trainers.
Ashlee and her staff use positive reinforcement training methods
to improve the relationship between dog and handler by providing
an effective means of communication and understanding as the
foundation for learning. For more information, please visit www.

Winnetka Community House is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible, and holds the safety of the participants in the highest possible regard. Participants and
parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. Winnetka Community House continually
strives to reduce such risks, and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants safety. Please recognize that Winnetka Community House does
not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering himself\herself or a family member for a
recreation program/activity should review his/her own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make Winnetka Community House automatically
responsible for payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for Winnetka Community House requires the execution of
the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this form carefully, and be aware in participating in the program(s) listed on this page, you will be waiving and releasing all
claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the activities of this program.

which I may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with or associated with such program. I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I may have as a result of participating in the program
against Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees. I do hereby fully release and discharge Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any
and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or loss which I may have or which may accrue to me on account of my participation. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend Winnetka Commu-
nity House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or losses sustained by me or arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with
the activities of the program. In the event of emergency, I authorize Winnetka Community House officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary
for my immediate care, and agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services required. All participants agree that any photography taken while participating in a class, special event or use
of a facility may be used for promotional purposes Winnetka Community House. Participants agree to receive emails from Winnetka Community House.
