Basic companion dog obedience assumes a dog can walk on a leash, and has begun
to learn the sit command. Dogs from 7 months of age up to 3 years of age are
good candidates for this class. Class size is 6 dogs or less, and stresses the
dog and the owner becoming a team. When the 6 week class is complete, dogs will
walk quietly at a heel, sit automatically from the heel, can down or sit stay
for up to 10 minutes and have learned some simple tricks and have begun heel
work without a lead. Owners are given an opportunity to hone their handling
skills, and to better read their dog’s behavior patterns.
