Beginner Obedience
Orientation is August 17, 2026
7:15 p.m.
Beginner Obedience is for puppies seven months or older.
Obedience training may just be the best gift you can give yourself, your family, and your pet. It teaches your dog appropriate social behavior with both people and animals; helps correct annoying behaviors like jumping, digging, barking, and chewing; and keeps your dog entertained and happy. A win-win all around!
Throughout this 6 week class, you’ll learn essential training commands to keep your dog safe, such as heel, sit, stand, down, stay, and come. Instructors will also teach you about proper nutrition, grooming, and solutions to common problems.
Show & Go
A "go and show" (or match show/fun match) is an informal, practice dog show where dogs and handlers get real-ring experience. No official championship points or titles are awarded. They offer low-stress environments for young puppies or beginner handlers to train, socialize, and learn the rules before entering official point-awarding shows.
Our Show & Go matches at the training Center are set for:
September 5, 2026
