Adult dog obedience class in Mount Shasta, CA

In the beginning-level classes, we'll use games, toys and food treats to teach your dog the behaviors you want. You'll learn the best way to communicate with your individual dog and how to deliver rewards with good placement and timing for maximum learning impact. We'll also cover how to "read" dog body language, stop unwanted behaviors, and promote healthy play between dogs.

Heads up: If your dog has aggression, fear or reactivity issues, please start with a behavior consultation or private training instead of a group class.
