Ready to build a strong foundation for a well-behaved dog on your schedule? Our Basic Obedience Drop-In Class is designed for all levels, from complete beginners to those looking for a quick refresher or extra practice. You can come to one class, or come to them all – whatever fits your needs!

Each session focuses on essential skills to help you and your dog thrive together, including:

• Sit, Down, Stay
• Come when called
• Leave-it
• Polite leash manners (no more pulling!)
• Calm greetings with people and other dogs

We'll work on these skills with mild distractions to strengthen your dog's focus and reliability, and address common nuisance behaviors as needed. We use positive reinforcement and treats to ensure a fun and effective learning experience every time you drop in!

Health Requirements

• Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and follow their veterinarian's recommended vaccination schedule.
• Provide proof of a recent negative fecal test.

What to Bring

1. Leash and Collar/Harness:
   • Use the harness or collar your puppy wears for walks.
   • Bring a 6-foot clip leash. Retractable leashes are not allowed.
2. Training Treats:
   • Treats should be about the size of your pinkie fingernail and squishy for easy chewing.
   • Bring more treats than you think you'll need—hungry dogs are more motivated!
   • Skip dinner on class nights if needed, as your dog will get their meal from your treat bag.
3. Appropriate Attire:
   • Wear comfortable clothes that allow free movement.
   • Closed-toed shoes are required.
   • For farm classes, dress for the weather since outdoor work is common.

Class Etiquette

• Maintain a 6-foot distance from other dogs unless instructed otherwise by your trainer.
• Be prepared to listen to your instructor's guidance to ensure a safe and fun learning environment for everyone.

We look forward to helping you and your dog build confidence, bond, and develop skills in a positive, engaging setting!
