Obedience Training
Each entry level class has a trainer and assistant to help you achieve your goal of a well trained dog. No more than two classes at a time are running. Our school offers a wide variety of programs to help you pave your way to a well trained family member and/or a competition dog.
Level I Obedience: For dogs 5 months or older. This 8 week program covers basic control and leadership techniques and exercises. Sit, down, stay, along with reliable recalls and soft leash heeling are included. Manners (jumping on people, barking, etc) and behavioral issues will be included.
Level II Obedience: This next step of training continues Level I with additional challenges. This six week course includes formal heeling, longer stays, out of sight recalls, canine good citizen exercises and obedience games are just part of the fun!
Level III Obedience: This six week course is a perfect way to complete the finishing touches to a well trained dog. Hand signals, off leash work, distant commands, jump work and fetch is just part of the fun!
Beginner Novice Class: This 4 week course is a nice tweener between Level 1 and 2, or a great REFRESHER course for the dog that has been out of training for a while! Heeling, sit/stay, down/stay, come when called and sit for petting are the only exercises covered each week. Good, solid obedience work!
Master's Class: 6 wks. Must have passed a Level 3. Want to keep just having fun? This class is a continuation of lots of obedience, rally and smiles! Fun for you and your dogs, this class has four 6 week sessions that you can attend if you want!!
Canine Good Citizen Class: This class is a 4 week course. Students must have completed Level I and II. This AKC supported program is open to both mixed and purebred dogs. Ten tests must be passed in order to receive the Canine Good Citizen certificate from AKC. The evaluation is included on week 4.
Beginner Rally-O: For dogs who have completed Level II training, this new hot sport is a fun way to work obedience with a touch of agility. Rally takes your obedience and literally puts spins, pivots, turns and jumps to it. A great way to step your obedience up a notch while having fun! Class is six weeks in length.
