Basic Obedience

Build Clear Communication and Reliable Behavior

Effective obedience training starts with understanding how your dog learns and how to motivate meaningful responses.

Basic Obedience provides a structured training experience that teaches you and your dog the fundamentals of communication, focus, and practical skills. Using balanced, clear methods, this program helps dogs learn essential behaviors while strengthening the partnership between handler and canine. These lessons establish consistent responsiveness in everyday life and prepare both you and your dog for more advanced training. This course also prepares handlers and dogs for the AKC-accredited CGC (Canine Good Citizen) test, which evaluates reliability and manners in real-world situations. Testing is available for an additional $50.
