Class Levels:

• Puppy Obedience
  You and your dog will learn controlled walking & how to listen. Commands for recall, sit, wait, & down are introduced. We will also discuss other topics such as housebreaking, chewing, and barking.  Your dog will be around other dogs to help them learn to socialize with other dogs.  You will learn how to make training fun and fit into everyday routines.

• Beginning Obedience
  You and your dog will learn how to walk on a leash at your side.   Continue to perfect a sit, stand, recall, and down.  Your dog will learn to stay in a sit and down position while you walk away from them. Graduation is a fun event for those who just want a well behaved companion.  A more formal graduation is held for those who want to show in the obedience ring.
