Dog Obedience Training

Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your dog or puppy...and yourself. Obedience training does not solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Learn how to teach your dog basic commands such as: sit, down, stand and come. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog. Join instructor Marie Monaco, who has a positive approach to dog training. Quality time with your dog will not only improve your pet's behavior, but will also increase the bond between the two of you, for a lifetime. Dogs must be at least 12 weeks of age. Proof of your dog's shots and results of a current stool check from your vet is due the first night of class (give to Marie). Beginner level~5 classes
