This beginner class is a behavioral based class. The focus is based on working with your dog in a positive manner.  As a team or integral part of your family you have better communication skills with your dog. In this class we lay the ground work for the Obedience Show preparation class, however everyone is welcome.   We take things slowly and make sure everyone is comfortable with what we are teaching. We teach the basic commands, sit, stay, down, stand, & leave it.  We work on leash manners, learning not to break for the front door the minute the door is open, we teach some tricks, and have some fun. We use food and buckle collars only, please NO! Choke chains.

A 6 Week course, developed for the dog/handler team which has completed Beginners but may not be quite ready for the Novice course/drop-in class. The CGC is a 2 part program that stresses responsible pet ownership and good manners for the dog. The course culminates in the 10 step AKC Canine Good Citizen test.
