Our obedience courses are for training the growing dog who can now focus for longer periods of time and who also may be showing some adolescent tendencies that need to be addressed. Some behaviors just aren’t cute when Fluffy gets to 50 lbs!!!
Dogs will learn sit, down, stay, come when called, and leave it. They’ll also be taught to walk on a leash without pulling and sitting when you stop. Distance is added to all stays and recalls.
Discussion includes socializing, spay/neuter, jumping, destructiveness, handling, feeding, etc. as well as individual problem areas.
This class will also include exercises to prepare your dog for AKC’s Canine Good Citizens test. Testing may be arranged and performed at SmartyPaws.
We allow up to two handlers per dog in our classes.
Updated shots and a negative fecal test that is at least 6 months recent is required at registration. Any dogs one year and older must have a current DHPP vaccine and rabies vaccine.
See our FAQ for more information on our vaccine policy.
Cancellation policy: You must cancel at least 72 hours in advance of the class starting to receive a refund. Due to waiting lists and limited slots in each class if you cancel with less than 72 hours notice, we can’t offer a refund. We may be able to give you credit for a future class though.
