Obedience Classes

 

  BEGINNER OBEDIENCE CLASS  
  This eight week course meets once per week on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 PM.  
  A new class begins approximately every eight weeks.  
     
  Beginner obedience classes are a great option for folks who are interested in learning how to train their own dog.  Method fundamentals are explained the first night and utilized throughout the class.  
  Each evening one or more new exercises are explained and each week all exercises are practiced.  
  Beginner Obedience at DarnFar far exceeds a typical training class because we believe in providing learning in a "real" environment with real distractions.   
  If you follow the instruction presented in class, at the end of eight weeks your dog will:  
  Walk properly on a loose lead and not pull you or resist walking with you  
  Sit,  lie down and stay in the presence of distractions, and not get up until you release the dog  
  Stand still to be examined by a vet or groomer, allow for teeth, eyes, ears to be examined  
  Remain calm and controlled when you and your dog meet and greet another person and dog  
  Come when called  
  No longer jump up or charge through doors  
  "Leave it" when you command, so that the dog won't go after cats, other dogs, food or other objectives  
     
  This class prepares a dog and handler for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test.   
  Available to all dog 18 weeks old and up.    $120  
  With Pay Pal you can pay for your training class right now and secure your space in class.   
   
 
  If you use PayPal to purchase your enrollment into class, you will still need to fill in the On-Line form or send in an application.  See below.  
  All dogs and puppies attending this class must bring hard-copy proof of vaccinations.
