Our Basic Obedience class builds the foundation every dog needs for success at home, in public, and in future training or dog sports. Using positive, reward-based methods, we focus on clear communication, reliability, and confidence.

​

Dogs and handlers will learn and strengthen essential skills such as:

• Sit, down, stand

• Loose-leash walking

• Come when called

• Stay and impulse control

• Focus and engagement around distractions

• Polite greetings and manners

 

This class is ideal for adolescent and adult dogs, as well as puppies who have completed my puppy class or are over 1 year of age. Exercises are taught in a structured, supportive environment and are easily transferable to real-life situations.

 

Whether your goal is a well-mannered companion or preparing for advanced training like the AKC Canine Good Citizen or Therapy Dog programs and dog sports, Basic Obedience provides the skills and teamwork needed to move forward with confidence.
