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.
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.
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!
Schedules: You Have Choices!
We offer three types of scheduling for Beginner
Obedience. They all teach the exact same methods, but the
way the class schedule is set up is different for each type.
Read the options below, and choose the one that sounds right
for you.
The only restriction is that you must choose
only one of the options listed. You can't bounce back and
forth from Mondays to Wednesdays, for example...or from a
6:30pm to a 7:45pm class. You must choose one day/time for
the entire session.
Choose Your Own Start Date
If you are anxious to get started, we offer
Rolling Enrollment sessions, where you pay the same price
as the standard class, and you still get 8 training sessions,
but you choose when to start. Start this
week if you'd like!
The available days and times are listed below.
And yes, if you choose this rolling enrollment option, you
DO bring your dog with you to the first class, because you'll
be getting started right away! Please arrive 15 minutes early
to meet with the instructor.

issues trying to make it to 8-weeks of class in a row.

and you attend as often or as little as you would like within
those 16 weeks. And you get to choose when
you start!
Yes, if you choose this flex plan option, you
DO bring your dog with you to the first class, because you'll
be getting started right away! Please arrive 15 minutes early

If You Miss a Class
- If you take advantage of our rolling enrollment session,
you can plan to miss a class by notifying the instructor
in advance; we will credit you with an extra week of class
so that you don't miss out on any training time!
- All make-up lessons are free if you can take advantage
of one of the days/times offered to you by the make-up instructor.
However, if your schedule does not allow for enough flexibility,
you may need to pay $30 to meet with her outside of her
regular office hours
