Training Classes

Learn to be your dog's leader. Participation in our dog obedience training classes goes way beyond simply training commands- it's great for bonding too!

Wait lists are kept for obedience classes that are full. Because dog training classes are in high demand, payments must be received ONE WEEK PRIOR to the starting date. Any spaces not reserved at that time will be made available to the waiting list.


Interested in taking your obedience training outside the box? Specialty Classes are offered throughout the year and cover a variety of topics.

Dog Training Class - Puppy Kindergarten
We cover common puppy issues including house training, jumping-up, mouthing, and begin teaching the foundation of basic obedience skills such as: sit, down, stay, walking on a loose leash, and focus commands. This is a fun course and a great way to start your new family member on the path to proper canine obedience!

For participation in puppy kindergarten, all puppies must be between twelve weeks to six months of age (toy breeds accepted to eight months) and have their second set of shots (including a "bordatella" vaccination) at a minimum.

Upcoming Puppy Classes:
Mondays starting March 29 2010, 7:00 - 8:00PM
Saturdays starting April 24 2010, 9:30 - 10:30AM
