Group classes allow you to learn and practice skills around controlled distractions and encourage you to be consistent about training during the course period. For some, a combination of one or more private lessons then a group class works best to set a solid foundation and set you on the path to training success.
Choose the class that’s right for you, then let the training fun begin!

Ready to keep moving forward?
Intermediate and Advanced classes are meant to take you and your dog to the next level of obedience training. We realize it takes time to reach the more advanced skill levels; therefore, we have designed these classes as ongoing training programs to be repeated as long as necessary.
We are here to help you meet your personal training goals, such as AKC CGC & CGCA, Therapy, Emotional support, Competition/Rally obedience! And the best family dog ever!
Intermediate Obedience
Intermediate Obedience builds on previous skills learned adding distractions, distance and duration. Off leash work will be introduced along with new exercises. Class focuses on refining hand signals, improving responsiveness to verbal cues, increasing responsiveness to cues at a distance, creating a more reliable recall, stay, impulse control, leave it and ‘go to your place’.
This course will help fine tune and improve upon your previous training, as well as allow you an opportunity for troubleshooting behavior issues common to dog parents. This class will also prep you for the AKC CGC test, which will be given on the last day of class.
