All of our training exercises are also good preparation for the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test

You can use this class to train your dog, bond with your dog, and have some fun time every week with your dog. Dogs that are obedience trained are better companions, are happier, and just more fun to have around. Our classes focus on useful, practical, household obedience needs — not fancy show ring exercises.

Our classes are taught both indoors in an air-conditioned room and outdoors as weather permits.

This class is a good starting point for the over 6-month-old dog with no previous training and is also a great tune up for dogs which have had previous training but need some refresher work. Class size is limited to 6 dogs per class. This allows plenty of personal attention for you and your dog.

We use positive reinforcement to train dogs and specialize in “clicker training” which is a fast, effective, and fun method to train animals of any kind. We will teach you smarter ways to stop bad behaviors so that you will need to use little if any punishment to train your best friend.
