Beyond Sit, Down, Stay

Sure, you went to puppy class with you bud, learned all of the basic commands.

Do you know there's more that you can do?

Similar to graduating to high school after middle school, there is a possibility for you to continue to bond with your dog and have great fun while showing others his skills.

Not competitive by nature?

Not to fear, most sanctioned Clubs offer classes in Rally Obedience (like regular obedience, but you can use more natural encouragement), agility, obedience, freestyle (dancing with your dog - seriously), and more. This stuff is great for the entire family. Many children learn confidence while working with their bud. To learn more, follow the links below.
