PUPPY CLASS
Puppy Socialization class is for puppies from 10 weeks to 22 weeks of age.  Class is 4 weeks long and emphasizes socialization and problem prevention.  Puppies will start learning basic obedience as well as work on good manners (stop biting, jumping etc.)

BASIC CLASS
Basic class is for dogs 23 weeks and older.  Class is six weeks long.   Dogs will learn to heel with an automatic sit, sit and down on command, leave it, and come when called.  Typical behavior problems will also be addressed (jumping up, barking, digging, chewing, etc.)

ADVANCED CLASS
Advanced Class if for dogs that have graduated from Basic obedience. Class is six weeks long.  Dogs will learn to work off lead, stay with handler out of sight, sit for exam, and to front and finish.  This is an appropriate class for dogs preparing for therapy dog testing, obedience competition, or just better pet manners.

IN-HOUSE PROGRAM
The In-House obedience program is an intensive 2-3 week package which involves your dog staying with us at our climate controlled facility. They enjoy the spacious indoor/outdoor kennels and we even have an option that allows them to go out for daycamp during the week. Many people enjoy utilizing this program when they are leaving town for an extended period.  We teach your dog to heel (walk politely on a leash) with an automatic sit, sit and down on command, stay, and come when called.  They also learn that "No" means to stop what they are doing (very handy for undesirable behaviors such as jumping and mouthing).  Once we have trained the dog we give you private lessons with them to help you and your pet to work as a team.  Dogs that have completed the In-house program (including the follow-up lessons) are guaranteed to have solid on-lead obedience skills.
