Family Dog 1 (formerly Basic Obedience) class exposes new and experienced dog owners to the training that dogs need for good manners at home and in public, and perhaps for eventual obedience competition. This class also provides students with the opportunity to teach their dogs proper behavior in the presence of other people and dogs. All training is done on leash. This class is not for dogs who are human- or dog-aggressive as teams are in near to each other during class.
