Skills - Enrichment - Confidence - Relationship
All classes are Private Lessons,
contact us to schedule!
​
No classes are held on
Fridays & Sunday Morning.
​
Obedience lessons are geared towards pups 4 months + and cover the topics below:
Leash/Heel work
Sit
Stay there
Recall/Whistle
Leave It
These are offered as treat-free, and the methods are based on our body-language and cues to communicate, but adding limited treats is never discouraged with young puppies. These include a set of online videos covering each topic (demonstrated with treats).
There is also the option to extend the obedience lessons and incorporate breed-specific goals you may have (all require treats). We can tailor the classes to interact through activities they naturally enjoy and set you up for future training in:
​
Agility (foot target method, 2 on 2 off, body awareness, familiarization with equipment, & cue words)
​
Barn Hunt (moving around straw bales, tunnels and climbs, basics of scent work/ find-it).
​
Shed Antler (easy retrieves, visual antler recognition, intro to antler scent, bring/hold/give).
​
By giving your dogs obedience skills, you can have calm, confident, well-mannered dogs who you enjoy spending time with! These are examples of my dogs in public, walking nicely on leash, waiting while at a cafe, and taking the shuttle.
RALLY - O
We offer Novice Rally Obedience
Generalize skills you've practiced indoors, to outdoors.

​
Teaches basic handling techniques (heel, halt, U turn, turn, round, stay, walk on, pivot), and covers the Novice Rally-O signs for CARO or AKC

You can also rent our spaces to practice RallyO and film for virtual trials.
There's nothing in dog training that's quite as important as a good recall. Finding safe places to practice is so valuable, and we have a variety of areas for that very purpose so that you can gradually increase the difficulty and distractions.
