Dog Obedience Classes

Training your pup is not an option, but an obligation!



Puppy obedience training or adult dog obedience training and/or dog behavior modification can be done through private lessons, group classes, or a combination of both. The benefit of private lessons is that you get individualized attention and more time to work with a trainer on obedience and to address other challenges you may be having with your pup. In the group classes, you don’t get as much individualized attention, but you get the benefit of working while other dogs are present. And in the puppy obedience classes, the dogs get to socialize as part of the class. Generally, people prefer a private lesson followed by group classes.
