This is a 6 week basic obedience class. Class is held on Saturdays from 11am to 12pm.  In this class, we cover the foundation of what your dog needs to know to be successful in their life with you. The list of things covered includes:

• Watch – the foundation of getting your dog to focus and listen to you

• Sit

• Down (laying down)

• Stand

• Puppy Push Ups (Sit, Down, Stand in order as a routine, this is the basis of getting the dog to do more for less)

• Stay

• Leave it

• Leash manners

• Handling Exercises (being able to touch the dog including their front and rear feet, heads, body, ears, and mouths. This is the basis of setting up good anxiety free vet visits, grooming visits, etc)
