We offer all levels of obedience training!

Group classes are offered year round (weekends, weekdays, & evenings).

Dogs are trained indoors (3200 sq. ft. modern, heated, training arena) and outdoors, weather permitting.


Each Level Of Obedience Is 8 Weeks Long
You attend one class a week - each class is normally 1 ½ hours long. We encourage partners to both attend the training classes and share the homework…after all your dog has to listen to BOTH OF YOU.

Levels 1 & 2
You receive written homework sheets at the end of each class to help you plan your homework sessions. On the last class you and your dog are tested…we don’t just give diplomas for attendance. If you and/or your dog are having a ‘bad hair day” we have you return for a re-test 1 or 2 weeks later. If on the re-test you and/or your dog are not up to the standards set for these levels, you are invited back to repeat the entire session again at no extra charge.This will be dependant on your attending all classes and completing your homework of course.

This is our guarantee!

Level 1 is to get the untrained dog to focus on the handler with other dogs and people around. Dogs beginning Level 1 training must be 4 months of age or older and be fully vaccinated. All training in Level 1 is on lead so that when you give a command your dog has no choice but to obey. In Level 1 your dog will learn to heel properly on a loose leash, sit/stay, down/stay, come when called, stand for examination, and finish to the heel position. We do not use treats to bribe the dog to obey but rather YOU are the treat. We do not use artificial stimulation to correct or praise the dog…YOU are taught the proper footwork, tones of voice to use and how to correct your dog without hitting or smacking him/her.

Level 2 is to practice and perfect the exercises learned in level 1, at an advanced level, and to condition the dog to obey and listen off-lead. As well, we introduce control exercises, retrieving, some agility exercises, and prepare dogs and handlers going into CKC or UKC Companion Dog obedience trials. This is a well rounded course designed for competitive and non competitive dogs.

Level 3 is designed for owners who want to train their dogs for Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) obedience trials (CKC and UKC). However, we have had many owners who have no desire to compete with their dogs in obedience trials continue to this level. We have also custom designed training programs, at this level, for owners with special needs. Because of the complexity of training for CDX, Level 3 is broken into two 8 week training sessions.

Level 3 Session 1 is to introduce and teach the dog the principles of each exercise (perfect heeling off lead, figure 8 off lead, drop on recall, flat retrieve, high jump retrieve, broad jump, and longer out of sight sit/stays and down/stays. Classes are normally 1 ½ hours in length. There are no written homework sheets handed out at this level as we expect that owners/handlers are better equipped to remember what was covered in class.

Level 3 Session 2 is to perfect the exercises with both the dog and handler(s). Classes are normally 1 ½ hours in length. There are no written homework sheets handed out at this level as we expect that owners/handlers are better equipped to remember what was covered in class.

Our Students Are Encouraged To Use Our Facility Free Of Charge To Practice Their Homework. (Based on availability of the arena.)

We also offer free Polishing Classes for our students going into competitive obedience before each major trial.
