A well-trained dog is a joy to be around, all it takes is a little know-how and consistency, so let's get started!

We will teach and implement good leadership skills to build a positive relationship with accountability. Your dog will learn Sit, and Down reliably, and a responsive recall. Polite leash walking on leash, and greetings with household manners are covered. Stopping Unwanted behaviors such as jumping, and excessive barking will be reviewed in detail. The class environment is great for practice and support. We teach you how to become a loving and effective leader and how to set your pup up for success as a part of your family and community, both inside and outside the home.

Full Course for Obedience and Manners Level 2 (Pre-Requisite Foundation 1) In this next more advanced level part two of Foundation Obedience, we tackle building reliability of commands with Distance, Duration, and Distraction.

You and your dog navigate, side- by-side, through a course of 10-20 different signs. The signs indicate a skill for your dog to perform, like sit or down. You and your dog move continuously throughout the course with a clear sense of teamwork. Rally is about working happily together while performing the necessary skills. Sabine is committed to positive, force-free training that is enjoyable for both ends of the leash and forms a strong, trusting bond between dog and handler.
