Enroll in a group dog training class.

Teenage Stage: Foundation Training for Adolescent Dogs

Next start date is Wednesday, October 30th, 2024!

These classes are sometimes called dog obedience classes, but we teach our students so much more than how to have an obedient dog!

During this class, dogs will learn behaviors including Down, Wait, Leave It, Relax on a Mat, Leash Walking, and cooperative care concepts for grooming and handling. We focus on building strong relationships, consistent response to cues, and preparing the dogs to work with distractions as their training progresses.

Completion of this class qualifies students to register for our Practice Makes Progress: Level 2 group training class.

Details:

  • Class includes 6 consecutive class meetings

  • Wednesdays at 7:15pm at Pet Me Please in Normal Heights.

  • Cost = $275

*While some barking or excitement are normal at the beginning, dogs in this class must not show significant aggression or significant reactivity around people and dogs in order to attend. Contact us if you have questions about your dog’s ability to be successful in a group setting.
