Basic Obedience Class

Basic Obedience Group Class

Basic Obedience is the foundation for all training. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of positive-based training and formalize your dog's response to the 5 core commands - Sit, Down, Stay, Come and Heel in a group setting.

Our training methods are kind and constructive, focusing on positive reinforcement to help you succeed. We aim to teach you how to communicate with your dog, giving you knowledge and confidence for training your dog.

This course is a great place for young dogs and puppies (5 months and older) as well as for older dogs who have learned not to listen, have not been trained, or need to start over. In addition, portions of every class are devoted to teaching the techniques to develop perfect leash walking with and without distractions.

Each Course is 5 weeks long and is carefully structured to help owners understand how to implement successful training methods. Each week, owners will practice and develop their training skills and be given homework to incorporate training into everyday life.

Walk This Way

What?! I can walk my dog without them pulling and lounging?

Our goal when teaching a dog to walk nicely on a loose leash is NOT that the dog walks in an obedience style heel-position; rather that the dog is able to walk with their guardian, and that both the guardian and their dog work towards the maintenance of a loose leash.

What You will Learn:

Dog will learn how to walk nicely on a loose leash without pulling.
Learn how to respond should your dog pull or lunge forward.
Learn how to walk your dog without tightening the leash. Yes, humans pull too!
have the tools and the knowledge to continue to practice their skills and generalize them to different environments
Improve the relationship that you share with your dog
Communicate more clearly with your dog
Dog’s focus on you will increase
Focus on your dog will also increase!
You will both enjoy spending time together
You will look forward to their walks together!

Whistle Recall Course

Interested in getting your dog(s) set on a GREAT recall (come/ Here), no matter where you are?? I’d say “perfect” but realistically a perfect recall every time is not always “perfect”.

Pre req for this 6-week training class/ private class is dogs should know their name and have some basic commands (sit, down, leave it, etc.)

No, you don’t have to have a good recall for this class. This class heavily includes the owner for participation, as this won’t work unless YOU are invested. You have to be willing to work your dog EVERY DAY for a minimum of 15 minutes!

What is INCLUDED in this recall course:

Whistle
Treats (yep, I provide the yummy treats for your training session)

What YOU need in this course:

harness or flat collar
Long Lead (15 foot or longer)
