OBEDIENCE TRAINING

DOG OBEDIENCE CLASSES

This is where it all begins for dogs six months or older. We learn the basic obedience and communication skills needed to build a trusting relationship with your dog or to start competitive dog sports such as agility or rally. This class is the foundation for all future training. It will enhance communication and awareness between you and your dog. Some of the skills we will cover include attention, off-leash control, the ability to work around other dogs and people, handling distractions, drive and motivation, confidence, and basic obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, and come. Other topics covered include heel and side position, toy drive, and motivation. The class focuses on improving manners, gaining skills, and increasing confidence to foster a more enjoyable relationship and create an effective team.

Classes meet for one hour once a week over four weeks.
