Obedience
Training is Essential to Having a Confident & Well Mannered Dog.
Beginning Obedience
Everyone should be able to experience a dog that exhibits good manners, walks nicely on a leash, and comes when called. Obedience training can mold your dog into a reliable, faithful companion. The traditional obedience commands as well as good manners, leadership, and social skills are emphasized in the Family Dog beginning level. We address common behavior problems like jumping, nipping, digging, barking and pulling on the lead. Your dog will learn all of the basic obedience exercises such as heeling on walks, stays, down, sit, wait, and coming when called.

Dog Agility
Dog agility is an exciting dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. Dogs run off-leash with no food or toys as incentives, and the handler can touch neither dog nor obstacles. Dog agility is a great team sport for you and your dog and is especially useful for establishing confidence in dogs. Dog agility training is also fun and will help strengthen the trust between you and your dog.
