Obedience Class Options

Whether you have a new puppy and don't know where to start, or an older dog with issues you'd like to address, we have an obedience class that can achieve most any goal. We offer two drop in style obedience classes at various times of the week to try and accommodate any schedule. Drop in classes cover a variety of topics and we rotate our curriculum so you can jump in on any class and get valuable information.  Below are descriptions of our two popular drop in obedience classes:

Puppy Play & Learn

Puppy Play ‘n Learn is a drop-in class designed for growing pups under 1 year who need socialization, exposure, and foundational obedience. Each class includes:

🐾 Confidence-building agility obstacles (tunnels, small jumps, wobble boards & more)

🐾 Foundational skills like sit, down, come, and leash manners

Basics and Beyond
Does your dog “know” the commands… but only when it’s convenient? Basics & Beyond is built for dogs over 1 year old who are friendly and social, but need structure, consistency, and real accountability . This isn’t a boring obedience class. This is where distractions get added. Expectations get raised. And dogs learn to listen the first time. Over the course, we’ll sharpen:
✔️ Sit, down & extended stays
✔️ Loose-leash walking without the tug-of-war
✔️ Reliable recall
✔️ Place work & impulse control
✔️ Calm, polite greetings
✔️ Focus around real-world distractions If your dog listens at home but falls apart in public… this is your class. Perfect for: • Newly adopted adult dogs • Dogs who need a reset on manners • Owners ready to level up their leadership. Basics & Beyond Classes are drop in style and the cost is $45 per class and you can book a spot here.
