Our Beginner Obedience Class is an eight week course that will teach you how to train your dog in basic obedience exercises such as sit, down, stand, stay, come, controlled walking, etc. using positive reinforcement techniques. It will also reinforce basic manners and behavioral problem prevention and touch on health care and grooming. Dogs should be at least five months old. Younger dogs with previous training will be considered.

Our Intermediate Obedience Class, also an eight week course, will reinforce and build upon the skills developed in the Beginner Class. You will learn how to teach your dog to heel, come when called, stay in a sit and down position, stand for examination and more. Dogs should have completed a basic obedience class and be at least six months of age.

Our Novice, Open, and Utility classes are ongoing sessions that are designed for those who wish to go on to show their dogs or just want to have more fun getting their dogs to fetch, jump hurdles and other exciting activities. Dogs should have completed a minimum of sixteen weeks of basic obedience classes.

Our Obedience Run-Throughs are your opportunity to "test" your dog as you get ready for upcoming shows.
