Beginner 1 & 2

The ABC's of Foundation Training
                 &
The Bachelor of Barks

Putting the FUN in Fundamentals

ABC

Beginner 1: the abc's of Foundation training

Mischievous canines left to their own devices become unruly adult dogs.  Foundation training is the glue that binds the relationship between you and your pet.  Start building a solid training relationship with knowledge and trust today.  It is an investment of time and love that never stops paying back.  It’s never too late to learn the ABC’s of foundation training.  If you are looking to start your dog’s education off on solid ground then this course is a must!  Learn your basic commands such as sit, down, stay, come when called and controlled loose leash walking.  Learn the beauty of a reliable recall.  Having attention issues?  Practice attention skills  with distractions in our safe, controlled environment.  Is your dog starting to act inappropriately?  This course will teach you how to redirect unwanted behaviors before they become lifelong issues.

Classes are 1 hour in length and meet for 6 weeks.
