Obedience Training
Obedience Training Options:
Group Classes
You and your dog will attend 7 training classes. The class meets Saturday mornings at 10 am. During class you will teach your dog basic obedience commands such as sit, lay down, come, stay, and walk nicely on a leash. We will also address common behavior problems like jumping, chewing, nipping, door bolting and more.
Camp and Train
Two weeks of intensive training for your dog by a professional dog trainer. Your dog stays at Animal Lodge and gets on one on training. During the program basic obedience commands are taught and behavior problems are solved. This is an OFF LEASH PROGRAM. That means when you pick your dog up you will be able to control him without a leash. You will receive his remote training collar, a follow up private lesson that is held in a park, and one year of group classes you can use as needed for follow up training.
Private Lessons
Meet one on one with a professional dog trainer. During lessons we can address any problem you are having and teach obedience commands as well. The lessons are scheduled at your availablity and held at Animal Lodge.
