Classes for the 2026 Fall Session:

Level 1 - Obedience For Puppies  or  Obedience For Dogs 

Obedience serves as the foundation for every other type of dog activity. These classes involve getting your puppy or dog

to pay attention and follow basic commands such as sit, stay and come. Obedience For Puppies will address "puppy

issues" and introduce you to different sports like Rally Obedience and Agility. Obedience For Dogs will help prepare you and your dog for the Canine Good Citizen test.

    

If your puppy has not received all of its shots, please fill out our Puppy Policy form.

Level 2 - AKC Rally Novice

(Prerequisite: One previous obedience class)

​Rally obedience introduces a variety of exercises on signs that are stationed along a course, much like a road rally course.
