Class Descriptions

Basic Dog Obedience

Does your dog “run with scissors”? Does your dog think his name is “BowserNo”? This is the class for untrained dogs and their people. Learn to teach your dog basic obedience (heel, sit, down, stay, and COME when called!), good-dog manners, & acceptable canine social skills. Take back the leash! Learn to enjoy living with the dog!

Beyond Basic Dog Obedience

Does your dog look at you with a blank stare and shrug his hairy shoulders as if to say “You talkin’ to me?” whenever you take the leash off? Build on the skills and relationship you and your dog began in the Basic Class and learn to take obedience off leash. Learn more advanced exercises that not only challenge both you and your dog but also continue to make training interesting, creative, and fun. Work to achieve a Canine Good Citizenship Certificate.

Rally Obedience

Rally Obedience is an exciting new AKC titling class in which the dog and handler complete a set of exercises while demonstrating team work. The dog and handler move continuously with the dog under control and at the handler’s left side, though perfect heel position does not need to be maintained. Handlers are generally allowed to talk, praise, and encourage their dogs. The dog’s performance need not be precise but should demonstrate willingness and enjoyment in its work.
