If you enroll your dog in only one class in its life, make it Basic Obedience. In this class, we cover the commands of sit, sit-stay, down, down-stay, loose leash walking, wait, leave it, place and more. More important than the actual commands, owners are taught HOW to teach their dog in a motivational, non-stressful way. Once you learn how to communicate, the sky is the limit! All dogs must be current on vaccines including distemper, rabies and kennel cough.

Looking to go beyond Basic Obedience? In this class, we take the basic skills and increase duration, distance, and distraction. Emphasis is put on perfecting those skills required to pass the Canine Good Citizen Test and a Therapy Dog Evaluation (using the standards of Therapy Dogs International). The Canine Good Citizen test is offered free of charge on the last meeting of this class. All dogs must be current on vaccines including distemper, rabies and kennel cough.

Rally Obedience
Guest Instructor – Sherry Spivey

$150 / 6 Weeks

This is a six week class for those interested in learning about the sport of Rally or continuing on the skills they have already established! Rally is a sport that showcases the team work between dog and handler. It is less strict than most competitive obedience. You are allowed to talk and encourage your dog.

Suitable for all ages and types of dogs, must be a minimum of six months of age. Basic obedience commands will be utilized and expanded upon, so a good understanding of loose leash walking, sit and down stay is required.

Each week we will be learning the various signs applicable to the novice level rally courses and how to begin to put them together for an actual novice course. A full course will be run on the last night of class. All work is done on leash. You should bring lots of treats to reward your dog as you both learn the ins and outs of Rally. A four foot leash and whichever collar you normally use. Class will be fast paced!
