Level One Beginner Obedience
Based on scientific principles,
our programs stress positive reinforcement and reward,
not punishment.
We use
non-choking collars and head collars for training equipment.
It is our belief that training and behavior modification should be safe,
enjoyable, and successful for both the dog and the humans who love them.
It is for that reason that all of our classes use Clicker Training.
Class Info
Great for dogs of any age, the
Level One Beginner Obedience class is designed to help you
get
started on creating a well-mannered dog that is a joy to be
around.
In this class, we introduce the first steps
of basic training through positive reinforcement. Pair this
class with our Level Two Beginner for
a well-rounded dog!
Note: If you are at all concerned with using food as a reward,
we
strongly encourage you to observe a class prior to signing up. There are no
refunds after class begins.
Schedule
Listed below are the session start dates. Pick
one session; you will meet each week on the same day/time for
eight consecutive weeks.
Do not bring your
dog to the first class. This is a mandatory orientation session for the
handler(s).
We also offer the Fido
Flex Plan - a flexible training option perfect for
people who just can't wait to get started with their training
but who may have some scheduling issues with the standard
8-week class.

Do not bring your dog to the first class!
This is a mandatory orientation session for the handler(s). You may notice
in the table above that you will need to arrive a bit earlier or stay a bit later than the normal time for your class. Please note that the first week requires a full 90 minutes. (Class normally lasts for one
hour, but on week one only, it lasts 90 minutes.)

- You cannot miss week one. This is mandatory for anyone who wants
to train a dog with us. If you miss week one and still want to be included

falls before your week two class) or you can schedule a 60-minute private
lesson with your dog for an additional fee.

at 6:00pm for a drop-in fee of $25 or you can schedule a half-hour private
lesson for an additional fee.
