What Happens in Class

Ready to Train? All Signed Up? What Do You Need To Know?
Obedience Class General Information

How the class will work each week:
  1. Review and practice previous lessons/commands and answer any questions
  2. Bathroom break and doggie play time or people socialization
  3. New lesson instruction
  4. Heeling practice
  5. Receive homework and individual advice on improvement
  6. More questions if needed
Refund Policy:
If, after attending Registration and the first working class, students find that this class is not for them, a refund of $150 (or the balance) will be provided. The $50 deposit will be kept for the two sessions received (Q&A session and lesson). This policy is necessary due to the fact that a spot in class has been tied up and it is causes difficulties. If students do not cancel immediately after (same weekend) the first lesson with your dog, there will be no refund of monies paid.
What to bring each week:
  1. 6 ft leash (leather preferred but options will be discussed)
  2. Buckle collar. No chokers (slip-collars). Prong collars will be evaluated and fitted for individual dogs if necessary and desired by owner.
  3. Large non-slip rug. Large carpet remnants work great.
  4. Treats/foods for training or a favorite toy if your dog responds better to toys. Small treats like Pounce or cut-up hot dogs or anything easy to swallow work well.
Commands You Will Learn:
Your dog already knows how to do all the things you want him to do (They're natural!). What you need is for him to do them when YOU want him to. So we need to teach both of you the language of communication. Commands you will learn that your dog already knows:
  1. Sit
  2. Down
  3. Walk on a leash
  4. Wait
  5. Stay
  6. Recall
  7. Formal Return
  8. All common combinations of above
