Upcoming Classes

Our Intermediate class will continue shaping your skills learned in Beginner Obedience, while adding more distractions and behaviors to what they currently know. New skills can be worked towards Obedience competitions and leading into Rally Obedience while still applying to your everyday life at home with your dog.
New Behaviors: Hand signals for Sit, Down, Stand (with behavior), Recall; Finish Right and Left, Wait, Automatic Sits, Introducing On and Off Leash Heeling, and Go to your Mat.
This class has limited space so pre-registration and payment is required to hold your spot in class.
We use the clicker training method in our classes, and all classes are taught on that foundation. For that reason, in our experience, dogs who have been home-trained or attended classes elsewhere have a very difficult time "catching up" in our intermediate class. We believe you, your dog, and your training goals will be best served by attending our beginner class first. Feel free to call us at 479.444.0300 for further discussion on this issue.
