Canine Classes
Obedience training whether for fun or competition will build a strong bond between you and your dog; and make the next 15 years of your relationship full of pleasure and joy. Our goal is to build on the relationship you have with your dog, whether they are a new member to the family or have been with you for years.
Puppy Kindergarten
$170.00 - Six Week Course
Puppy classes are designed for dogs under six months. Our goal is to provide a fun, friendly environment for your puppy where we stress interaction between other puppies and instruction in all of the basic obedience commands. We run our puppy classes on an seven week schedule with each class lasting one hour, please see our calendar for the current schedule. Our classes are normally full two weeks prior to start. Please call or email for current availability.
One of the most important aspects in puppy obedience is to provide your puppy with socialization skills. This allows your puppy to interact with other dogs of different breed and size in order to learn to communicate with one another. This also helps curb aggression towards other dogs and humans.
