PET OBEDIENCE
Courses ranging from Puppy Preschool to Graduate 301 Obedience. Something for every dog at every age and skill level based on positive reinforcement training in a group setting. We will teach you how to teach your dog to be a well behaved member of your family. Classes are held indoors.
AGILITY
Agility is a sport with canine athletes and humans doing their best to be good handlers. While agility is good for exercise, boosting confidence & fun, it has become so much more. It can be as much, or as little as the individual team would like it to be.
Our highly skilled team of instructors can take you and your dog from beginner foundation level to master competition level. Our instructors stay current with the most effective training methods and are successfully competing at the top levels with their own dogs. Whatever level you choose to have fun at, we have a class for you. Classes are held indoors and outdoors weather permitting.
COMPETITION OBEDIENCE
Obedience competition is a great opportunity for you and your dog to work as a highly tuned team. Accuracy and precision are essential as well as the natural movement of the handler and the willingness and enjoyment of the dog. Whether the goal is to train to compete or further build on your dog’s confidence and skills, this sport will provide physical and mental exercise while being fun and challenging.
We offer all three levels, Novice, Open and Utility. Our skilled instructor can take you and your dog from Novice to Utility and beyond. Our classes are designed to provide you with the tools you need to learn your exercises, achieve your goals and perfect your performance while enjoying time with your dog.Classes are held indoors.
