Dog Obedience

Are you having trouble with your dog not listening to you? Are you ready for the nonsense to stop? You love your dog, but they are getting on your last nerve or maybe you just want to have fun with your dog. Well this may be the class for you! Build your relationship with your companion by strengthening your communication and boundaries on a level that your dog understands. Here we will work on training your dog to be a well mannered dog through teaching sit, down, recall, leash walking, and more. But training doesn't have to end there! You will be able to take the steps you learned in the class and apply them to problem solve with your dog.

This is a six week class. All breeds are welcome. All dogs must be 4 months or older, up to date on shots, and be on a 6 foot leash. No retractable leashes allowed. Please bring high valued treats.

If you are unsure if your dog is the right fit for a group class, please feel free send me a message, and I will get back to you shortly.

Puppy Kindergarten

Do you have a new puppy and want him to have a well socialized dog who you can communicate with?

Then look no further! Puppy Kindergarten is meant to get your puppy off to the right start. In this class rather than focusing on obedience, we focus on teaching your puppy:

Basic Dog Manners: jumping up, greeting people and dogs.
Socializing with other dogs. Being comfortable seeing another dog and not barking and dragging you down to get to them.
Eye Contact, so they learn to looking to you for guidance.
Walking with a loose leash.

We also go over problems you may be having, and other puppy questions (house training, feeding, puppy play dates).

Puppies need to start the class between 16 and 20 weeks. As puppies have a shorter attention span, classes are 45 minutes long.
