We offer Obedience Evaluations
(For dogs that have had prior professional training elsewhere)
beyond just simple Pet Store training, like Petco and Petsmart, so you know where you fit in at our facility. If your dog has had prior professional training elsewhere, please visit "Our Tests" page to see our obedience tests and put your dog through our tests first, so you know where you stand before you request an eval. If your dog cannot pass our basic obedience test, then you would begin with basic obedience with private lessons, our basic obedience class, or in-kennel training. Tests
