Help your dog be a better “friend” and enroll in our basic course for home or show training. A training collar is used during the class. Dogs do not come the first night. Proof of rabies vaccination is required. Children may train the dog during class as long as an adult guardian is present to take over if needed.

Dog Obedience: Graduate Program Dogs 16 weeks and up

Be the envy of beginner participants and take your dog to the next level! Graduate program dogs and owners are given more challenges and further distances for certain skills. Participants work on light to no leash lines, and step up to out-of sight sits and downs. Dogs do not come the first night.

Rally Obedience

Rally is a dog sport that builds on obedience training and teaches agility skills. Participants move from station to station working on different skills and patterns through teamwork between handler and dog. There are several levels of Rally obedience. This class will be a prerequisite for the next level offered in the summer. Dogs must have attended at least one full obedience course of 6 to 8 classes before enrolling. Bring veterinarian papers with vaccination proof the first night of class. Bring your dog the first night.
