Group Obedience Training
EIGHT WEEK GROUP OBEDIENCE CLASSES
Our goal with every cycle of classes is to help each dog owner become a better dog trainer for their dog. We’ve lined up the obedience classes in a way that will help you progress into each level or advancing into more specified training.
EIGHT WEEK GROUP PUPPY CLASS
The 8 week puppy class is designed to teach you an effective way of communicating to your puppy or young dog that will have life long results. We use the same communication system adopted by elite dog trainers, sport dog trainers, police dog trainers, scent detection trainers, and people looking to get their puppy a good foundation of obedience. We’ll use your dogs motivation for food, balls, and tug toys to help this communication system work best for you and your puppy or young dog.
This communication system is used to teach:
- Sit
- Down
- Heel
- Recall(come back when called)
- Place command
- Loose leash walking
- And address any other problem behaviors your puppy might have
At the end of 8 weeks we will evaluate your progress to see if you are ready for the Intermediate Obedience class.
Recommended age: 4.5-11 months old.
