Basic Obedience Classes

Basic Obedience Classes at Creature Comforts

This five week class is for dogs 5 months and older, helping them socialize with new environments, people, and other dogs to strengthen your bond and partnership. You’ll learn practical foundational skills, and your dog will gain essential socialization experience in a safe, structured setting—skills they can apply both at home and in public.

Class size is limited to five students.

Please note our basic obedience group class is NOT for dogs that show aggression or reactivity towards other dogs or people.

Included in this one hour class:

marker training
