Basic Obedience & Manners
Instructor: Carrie Kelly​
​
Basic Obedience is not only a necessary part of being a responsible dog owner, it also can keep you and your pet safe in an emergency.  We will work on skills such as, coming when called, stay, leave it, loose leash walking and more. Training aids in building a better relationship with your dog by providing him with structure and expectations. It also gives him a mental workout which is needed just as much as physical exercise. This class is open to dogs 6 months and older.
