Obedience Training

Sit, Stay and Don’t Go Away!

OBEDIENCE TRAINING AT JCHS

Through education and positive training, we can help develop a better relationship between you and your pet; prevent common canine behaviors like chewing, jumping and play-biting before they become a problem; address “bad” behaviors like digging, house-soiling and excessive barking; socialize your dog with four-legged and two-legged friends. Plus all obedience training fees benefit JCHS!

We’re committed to providing you and your dog with the tools you need to develop a strong and lasting relationship!  Our dog training classes are designed to meet a wide variety of ages and skill levels. We offer classes for  Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.  Each class runs 3 weeks.  We offer both group and private classes

REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUP CLASS

"DOGS ARE OUR LINK TO PARADISE. THEY DON'T KNOW EVIL...OR JEALOUSY...OR DISCONTENT. TO SIT WITH A DOG ON A HILLSIDE ON A GLORIOUS AFTERNOON IS TO BE BACK IN EDEN, WHERE DOING NOTHING WAS NOT BORING...IT WAS PEACE."
