Basic Dog Obedience Class

The seven-week class sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department will cover basic commands for the family dog, including sit, down, stay, heel, come and stand. You will learn how to correct bad habits such as jumping up and pulling on the leash. Learn how to praise, correct and discipline your dog appropriately. Dogs should be at least 6 months old. Handlers must be at least 16 years old. For the first class, you will need a 6-foot leash. The first class is held without dogs! A copy of your dog's current vaccinations, including Bordetella, must be given to the instructor at the first class. The class is limited to 12 people. Sign up for program #165001A. See the website for registration information.
