Where Up Front Obedience Dogs are trained and eager to learn!
Our classes are held at our indoor heated and air-conditioned training facility with three training rings on rubber flooring. We have more to offer including a large outdoor training field and heated pool for conditioning. Also specializing In-Home dog behavior modification. We welcome all students, whether or not they ever want to show a dog in any sport, or for those who do choose to enter the fun and exciting world of dog sport, be assured that you are learning from experienced instructors who actively show and title their dogs in the sport they are teaching.
Our Pet Classes focus on “come when called on or off leash”, “sit or down when asked”. Walk beside you on a loose leash, pay attention, be well-mannered pets inside and outside the home. We incorporate behavioral understanding when working with dogs.
Obedience training is the foundation of communication between you and your dog that allows you build a stronger relationship with your dog. We teach you to train your dog so you form that strong bond. We teach more than sit, stay, down, come and heel, our dog training also involves respect so your dog is happy and will want to do what you ask of them. In agility we strive to find the balance between your dog’s play drive and his willingness to work with you – and your ability to engage your dog in a positive manner. Remember, positive training is crucial in agility.
