NEW!

We are pleased to announce our new dog training session of "Walkabout Dog Obedience Class: Urban Obedience on the Move." This unique approach to dog obedience training recognizes that most behavior problems don't come up in a sterile class setting inside a building or in a ring. You need your dog to behave when you are out in public with distractions and temptations. Our new "Walkabout" dog training class will be held in various locations throughout Lodi, from downtown cafés to parks to bus and train stations.

Teach your dog or puppy Come, Sit, Down, Stay, Wait, and easy No-pull Leash Walking in public while enjoying the company of other dog training friends.

Class is six weeks in length with a talk and demonstration for the first class, which will be held at Victor Park in Acampo (Victor Rd at Bruella Rd.) Do not bring your dog to the first class. Do bring proof of parvo and distemper vaccinations.

This dog training class is best for puppies and dogs over four months old. Class size is limited to ten dogs. We will also offer equipment and advice on where to get what you need to have a really productive enjoyable session. Click here for the equipment you'll need.

Text for the class will be "Beginning Family Dog Training" by Patricia McConnell

Locations for classes will be given out at the first session." Final Exam" will consist of an AKC Canine Good Citizen Test (see below). Classes are $125 and include the official test forms.

Give yourself a trained dog for Christmas (or several weeks before).


Our training prepares students for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test.

Abbie

In addition to being a good way to show off your well behaved dog, this certificate is often viewed favorably by insurance companies when it comes to covering our dogs. There is no minimum age requirement for the test, and any breed or mixed breed may participate.

As a certified CGC Evaluator, Julia can test and certify your dog on completion of training.

Dear Julia:
Due to your services our dogs have structure and discipline in their lives which gives them such a happier existence (not to mention ours!) On their twice daily park trips we can trust them to be off leash and follow our commands. The final dream come true was our recent trip to Carmel with them for the night. Their obedience for two days through may obstacles ( numerous dogs new surroundings, long road trip, overnight stay, restaurants, the ocean, etc. etc.) just proved the what an amazing job you did in training our Aussies.."

Sincere gratitude,
Michael Varni and Jenny Preszler, Lodi, CA
