Group Classes We are proud to offer the most innovative Group Class design in the area! We know that not every dog and owner in class will progress at the same
pace, so we have implemented a class structure that allows the flexibility needed for success. Classes are broken down into
six levels of obedience. Each of those levels has exercises that both you and your dog need to pass in order to graduate to
the next level. All the levels are taught every Saturday so you don't have to worry if you can't make it to class one Saturday,
simply come back to the same level the next time you join us.
No need to worry about scheduling your beginner, intermediate,
and advanced classes! Our class teaches beginner through advanced obedience as well as household manners!
