BEGINNERS
Beginners is our first 6 week class and includes puppies and young dogs.
Focus on attention and socialization are introduced. Basic obedience
exercises such as sit, down, stay, come when called and how to walk
on a leash are taught. These basic exercises teach the dogs to be
well mannered pets that are welcome in the community.
NOVICE

and polishes the exercises taught in the Beginners class. Novice

and the handler. Focusing on attention continues as well as the recall,
sit and down stays, figure 8, stand for examination and heeling on
and off leash.
