Class Descriptions
 


PUPPY OBEDIENCE
A beginner class for puppies under 16 weeks of age, this 6 week class allows puppies to learn proper play behavior through socialization.  Using positive reinforcement, we will show you how to teach your puppy basic commands such as sit, down, stay, come and walking nicely on leash along with other useful information.  Each week a different behavioral topic that every puppy owner is dealing with will also be discussed.  Topics include mouthiness, chewing, house training, crate training, jumping and barking.

BASIC OBEDIENCE
This 6 week class for dogs over 16 weeks of age covers the basics for a good family pet.  By teaching and practicing basic commands, dogs will learn essential household manners.  Our weekly games help prepare you to deal with the most common issues that arise as part of dog ownership.

Next Basic Obedience Class Begins Tuesday, February 20th
