Obedience Courses

Obedience 1: Beginner

In our Obedience 1 package, your pup will learn several different basic commands to set their foundation for a life full of success. This level will focus on marker words: sit, down, come, stay, and leave it. Loose leash walking will also be introduced.

Obedience 1: Intermediate

In Obedience 1 – Intermediate, your dog will build upon the lessons learned during the Obedience 1 – Beginner course. The focus of this course will be to work on duration, distance, and distraction of the command words previously learned.

Obedience 2

This course will focus on advanced command words: off, place, wait, watch me, heel, stand, release, and staying with distance between dog and owner.

Obedience 3

Builds on Obedience 2 with off-leash walking and safe e-collar training. Dogs in this level will continue refining skills with distractions and longer duration.
