9:00 AM All-Levels Obedience Class

IS THIS CLASS FOR YOU?

This outdoor class holds lots of promise of being a fun yet challenging environment for your pooch! We promote force free techniques and focus on strengthening the communication and relationship with you and your dog with reward-based and relationship-based training methods.

Classes will be different each week depending on the class participants. In general, we will focus on the following:

• Sit, Down, Stay, Stand, Come when called, and Watch Mes.
• Polite greetings, sitting nicely for petting.
• Basic commands with varying distractions.
• Loose leash walking.
• Canine Good Citizen skills!

We will work on basic commands and practice impulse control exercises. We will work on your dog's focus around other dogs and making it a rewarding experience for him/her. We will help your dog take the right steps toward obtaining Canine Good Citizen status and more!

If you have questions, contact Aaron Wood at 916-413-9249 or E-Mail [email protected]

Dogs under one year old can test for AKC STAR Puppy after six total classes, a great first step to the title of Canine Good Citizen! Here is more info on STAR Puppy: http://www.akc.org/starpuppy/about_the_program.cfm
