This class is designed to learn skills and knowledge needed to become a Therapy Dog team and includes an evaluation necessary for a certification.

This class is for puppies 12 weeks to 6 months. Class starts with the very basic commands every dog should know such as sit, stay, down and come.  Information on common puppy problems such as crating, nipping and housebreaking are covered.

Once you graduate from puppy class and you want to continue with obedience work or you have an older dog that has never been to an obedience class, we offer a basic obedience class.  This class reviews sit, down, come, and stay and adds such exercises as heel, heel fast, heel slow, heel while turning, long sits, long downs, and long distance recalls.

This class is offered to the dog owner  to prepare their dog for the CGC evaluation.  It is a five week course and upon completion, your dog will be evaluated the on the items required to earn an AKC CGC title.  The evaluations will be done during the fifth week.  All classes need to be attended.  A  6 foot leash and a variety of soft treats and a small tug toy are needed for class

Once graduation from Basic has occurred, students may move on to Advanced Basic. This class is perfect for an owner who wants more than the basic class offered. Advanced Basic is a drop-in class although it is taught in seven week sessions where skills build on one another from week to week. Students are therefore advised to attend class each week to get the most out of the class.
