Canine Encounters - Dog Obedience Class

The Haddam-Killingworth Recreation Department is offering a basic dog obedience class this spring. Class will be held on Thursdays, March 15 – April 26, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. (Dogs must be at least 5 months old). Class will be held in back of Haddam-Killingworth High School.

The first class is theory and is for owners only. It will meet in the old MS A-114.

Canine Encounters classes provide socialization through a group setting and enhance the relationship between owner and dog through the partnership developed though training. Communication, positive reinforcement, repetition, consistency, and timing are combined to establish bonding and skills. The goal is not a controlled pet, but rather a well-mannered, enjoyable and loved companion.
