OBEDIENCE CLASSES:
​
All of our obedience classes are drop-in, but we highly encourage you to attend all 4 weeks, as this gives your dog a chance to work through distractions. We will work on engagement exercises in all of our classes, so make sure you bring a toy with you. If you use a clicker already, we also welcome the use of clickers.
​
Regardless of age or breed, we welcome all dogs*
​
​
*All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccines and dewormed.
Please do not bring your dog to class sick.
​
*Please contact us prior to signing up for a class if your dog has a bite history or displays aggressive behavior.
