Adult Level One Training Class
Struggling with an older dog and not sure what to do? Rest assured, it's never too late to turn things around and start learning. Let us show you how to create that dog that your friends and family will say is the most well behaved dog they know.
Our Adult Level One program is for dogs over 5 months of age who missed out and didn't take the Puppy Level One Program. It's never to late to start learning and no age is too old. We often refer to level one as "Grade School". Successful graduates would then be qualified to continue on to our Level Two aka "High School" program.
Classes run for 6 weeks for 1 hour per week.
Maximum 4 dogs per class
