  Canine Obedience Training | view schedule

All levels are offered to any dog that is at least 16 weeks old and each level contains a six week curriculum. Dogs must be current on vaccinations, in good health, and examined regularly by a veterinarian. After the completion of each level, your dog will graduate and receive their own diploma. In the group training program, class size is restricted so that more individual attention can be given and as a result, progress generally occurs quickly. The levels offered are as follows:
