Basic I - Beginning Level Obedience

Around three months of age canines transition from the Socialization Stage to the Juvenile Stage, or Adolescent Stage. During this period of development it is common for pups to test and defy their owners. It is also common to see an increase in energy levels and destruction potential. Focus on pack structure, getting and keeping your dog's attention, building trust and identifying what motivates your dog are all crucial parts of training during the Juvenile Stage. The skills covered in basic obedience will help you better communicate with your dog, understand his drives and set the ground work for a strong foundation of future training.

Upcoming Start Dates for this Course:
Tue April 22nd, 2008. Class begins at 7pm. - FULL
Sept. 2008. Class date and time will be posted in Aug.
