Our Training is "FUN"damental

 

ADOG's basic function is to help you train your dog to become a pleasurable pet and a better companion. A trained dog is a joy to live with and is welcomed many places. You and your dog will learn to appreciate each other as a result of proper training.

We offer indoor, group training in all levels of obedience for all dogs eight weeks and older, as well as Rally classes and private lessons.  Our expert instruction is based on positive reinforcement training, ranging from basic beginning classes to the most advanced competition training.   We encourage, as well as instruct, the training and showing of dogs as a sport.  Our volunteer instructors have dog training experience ranging from five years to over thirty years with many different breeds.  They not only compete in the sport of obedience, but also agility, tracking, conformation, hunting, rally and herding.

Our classes fill very quickly.  Early enrollment is urged to assure that you and your dog have a place in the upcoming session.  Students with dogs adopted from rescue organizations receive a $10 discount on their first session.  "Refer a friend" and receive $10 off your next session when they register for class.

Visit the ADOG & More section of our site to see our facility, read about us and see what we do when we're not training.  Our Library section has a wealth of information with sections on Fun Stuff, Pet Care, Reading and Training.  New to obedience?  Take a Virtual Tour of each AKC class exercise in the Training section of the Library.
