Dog Obedience Level 1: Basic Life Skills
Learn to teach your dog calm behavior, good manners, basic cues, leash walking and mental enrichment while building a trusting bond through positive training and science-based behavior techniques for dogs of all ages.
No dogs on the first night of class. The first class is for the human end of the leash only. Please email proof of your dog's updated vaccine information to your instructor Holly at hollyjean.unleashed@gmail.com before the 1st day of class. Your dog must be up-to-date on both Rabies and Distemper Combo (if under 6 months, bring in updates as they are obtained). Bordetella is not required, though strongly recommended. Please wear comfortable shoes, as we will be doing some moving around. Other supplies such as treats and leashes will be discussed the first week during orientation. No dogs the first week.
