BASIC OBEDIENCE

The Foundation of all Dog Training


Whether you decide that you want to hang out, go for walks, snuggle, or get involved in doing canine sports such as Agility or Fast CAT, basic on-leash dog training is the foundation for everything you want to do.

It doesn’t matter what age or breed your dog is, we will help you teach your dog how to behave appropriately at home or on-the-go, while at the same time, building a positive and happy relationship together.

Calling All Dogs

Here are just some of the obedience skills taught during our classes or private sessions.

 
 

Stop pulling on a leash

Have a pleasant and leisurely walk with your dog. No one enjoys walking with a dog who constantly pulls!

Sit, down, and stay!

Basic skills every dog should know how to do, both inside the home and outside in the community.

Wait at the door

Learn how to stop your dog from dashing to your guests or rushing through doors to make a quick exit.

Yorkie Dog
 
 

Come when called

One of the most important exercises you can teach your dog. It could save his life!

Bonding

Developing a connection with your dog is essential. Relationship-building exercises are fostered.

Impulse control

Teaching your dog self-control comes in handy when there's a tempting beef roast on the kitchen counter!

Upcoming Classes

Dog Obedience

Puppy Obedience

The Puppy program gets you and your pup off to a good start! Our Beginner class will teach dogs basic skills of sit, down, stay, but more importantly, it will address problem areas such as coming when called, leash-pulling, jumping up on guests, and waiting at the door. Intermediate and beyond will build on the basic skills.

New classes begin October 30 & 31. Classes are posted, reserve your spot today!
