For the Love of Dogs - Obedience Classes

Obedience

Puppy	Basic			Advanced
Using positive reinforcement methods, dogs learn it is rewarding to obey our commands and to follow our leadership. This gentle and effective approach is fun for both pets and their owners. Our classes are taught by accredited training instructors with 30+ years of dog training experience to draw upon in helping to teach your dog a variety of skills. Level I (Puppy/Beginner) Class - Ages 10 weeks and up (8 week class) In the Level I class you will learn how to prevent unwanted behaviors and establish a bond with your do . We will address potty training techniques, behaviors like sit, down, stay, come when called, walk on a loose leash and much, much more. This class spends time each week exposing your puppy or dog to new things to help them grow up to be well adjusted dogs and a great family companion. The first six months are the most critical to a dog's social development. During this period your puppy learns his place in the household and how to behave around humans and other dogs. Socialization of your puppy during this stage plays a significant roll in how your puppy will react to situations as an adult. This class will also help adolescent and adult dogs that may need to "unlearn" some unwanted habits and replace them with new, more desirable behaviors. Class is limited to 8 dogs.
