Beginner Obedience

Our main objective is to teach you how to work with your dog. We cover problems occurring in every day living with them. Basic training, such as walking on a loose lead, sit, down, stay and coming when called are taught and how to use them to make your dog a great companion. We will try to give you some insight as to how your dog thinks and to apply that to your training.

Intermediate Obedience

These classes will include distance stays and recalls with various distractions, beginning off lead work, and proofing of the behaviors learned in the beginner classes.

Competition Obedience  

This class is for people who are interested in competing in obedience trials or are just interested in doing more with their dogs. It is varied depending on the needs of the dog and handler in the class.

Dogs in this class must be ready to go off lead and have previous training in beginning and/or intermediate classes.

 Private Obedience

We have Obedience instruction on a one on one basis available by appointment only. There is also private instruction available for dogs with special problems.
