Socialization of puppies is important, so part of each class will include a “social time” with the other puppies.

Novice and Beyond Obedience

This class is intended for those interested in further training and/or preparation for showing their dog in UKC or AKC obedience trials. Ring procedures will be emphasized along with executing a more precise level of excellence in each exercise. Dogs will do some work off-leash and must be under control of the handler.
Rally Obedience

It is interesting and challenging to the dogs to put together what they have learned in a different combination than that used in the Puppy or Beginner classes.
