Basic Obedience 

Circle Tail can help make you a better dog owner. Learn how to train your dog from the same people who train our service dogs. Small class size means personal attention.

Class meets once per week for 7 weeks. Dogs and puppies who have been in the home for at least two weeks and have received at least two sets of vaccinations are welcome. The class covers on-leash basic obedience. Emphasis is placed on leadership and developing a relationship with your dog.

PLEASE NOTE: The 1st week of the Basic Obedience class is completed via Zoom. We will send you an invitation link to the Zoom class, and the class material as an attachment to review. The remaining six classes are completed at the Circle Tail Training Center. Please send proof of vaccines to info@circletail.org prior to your first class. We will be limiting in class participation to 1 handler and 1 additional participant per dog.
