OBEDIENCE TRAINING
Obedience training is the best thing you can do for your dog or puppy. Obedience training serves as a foundation to solve just about any problem. Dogs are animals with natural instincts. Some of these instincts please us like greeting us at the door, but others are not as desirable such as pulling on the leash, jumping up and not coming when called. While using positive motivational obedience training techniques you will learn the skills necessary to extinguish these and other problem behaviors. At the same time you and your dog will have a rewarding experience that enriches your relationship and makes life together more enjoyable. A well trained dog is a happy dog!

AGILITY TRAINING
Agility training is an exciting and fast growing dog sport which will test your canine companion's ability to negotiate a variety of obstacles - with speed and accuracy. Obstacles include weave poles, tunnels, jumps, see-saws and A-frame ramps. Agility is a great way to utilize your dog’s excess energy, in a positive manner, while building a unique bond between you and your dog. Dogs of any size and breed including mixed breeds and “designer breeds may participate in agility classes. Dogs must be at least six months of age to participate in agility classes. Puppies under the age of six months can be introduced to puppy sized agility obstacles in “Puppy ABCs”.
