BASIC OBEDIENCE BEGINS OCTOBER 28

Our next basic obedience class begins Wed. OCt 28. This is a 6-week class, and we will be skipping class Nov. 25, so it will go for 7 weeks this time.

Basic Obedience covers simple behaviors such as sit, down, stay, come when called, walking on a loose leash, leave it, and drop it. Behavioral issues like chewing, jumping, and nipping are covered as well. In this course we aim for 100% reliability, which means that your dog listens to you the first time every time. The added distraction of the other dogs in class helps your dog learn to listen to you in any environment.

Space is limited, so sign up today!
