Obedience and Foundation
SUDS dog obedience classes are more than just teaching your dog the basic commands of heel, sit, stay, down and come. Our classes cover important every day polite behaviors such as ‘Sit politely for petting’, ‘loose leash walking’, ‘wait at the door’ and ‘leave it’ to mention a few. This is the foundation for a good companion, agility training, intermediate obedience training, therapy dog work and more. Classes are limited and fill up quickly, please register early!
Bring a crate for your dog and a chair for yourself!
Canine Good Citizen (CGC)
CGC is a ten-skill training program that’s open to all dogs–purebred and mixed breed–that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.
After mastering the ten skills, passing the CGC test together, and taking the Responsible Dog Ownership pledge, you and your pup will join the proud ranks of over 1 million dogs who have earned their Canine Good Citizen award– accomplishment that’s definitely worthy of extra belly rubs!
We will be practicing two skills per class and taking the CGC test on the last day of class.
