Puppy Obedience and Socialization Class
Puppy training class is for all breeds of puppies under the age of 5 months. Class is 1 hour a week for 4 weeks. Puppies need to have the appropriate vaccines for their age group.
In puppy obedience class you will be taught how to train your puppy in a positive and fun way. We will work on sit, down, heeling, recall, and more. We will also work on socialization with other dogs and people, which is one of the most important things in a puppy's development!
Because I am such a firm believer that early socialization makes for a GREAT dog the last puppy class is always a "field trip".
I strongly recommend taking a puppy obedience class! Your puppy can learn basic obedience and socialization at a very young age insuring a confident obedient dog that is a joy to have as part of your family.
Puppy Class is based on interest so if you are interested please call or email. THANKS

AKC Rally Class
(Novice)
AKC Rally is a dog sport that offers both the dogs and handlers an experience that is fun and energizing. The canine team moves at their own pace, through a course that includes 10 to 20 stations. Rally was designed for the traditional pet owner, but it can still be very challenging for those who enjoy higher levels of competition. The main objective of rally is to produce dogs that have been trained to behave in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs.
Rally is fun for all whether you would like to compete, just want something to do with your dog that's not in the rain, have a dog that needs more socialization, or an older dog that needs something low impact to do Rally is for you!!
