GROUP DOG AND PUPPY OBEDIENCE CLASSES

Dog and Puppy Obedience Classes

CCAS and Rescue Dog Trainers (RDT) have partnered together to offer the community basic dog and puppy obedience training classes. Rescue Dog Trainers are force free, positive reinforcement trainers. Our purpose is to help dogs succeed. RDT trainers teach using humane and kind training techniques that build strong, trusting relationships between humans and their dogs.

RDT’s mission is that all dogs that find a forever home deserve to stay home forever. Training your dogs and puppies is a critical step in helping your dog understand how to live in the world of humans.

Puppy classes will be held on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:00am in the big play yard at the shelter. Dog classes (dogs over 1 year) will be held on Saturday and Sundays, starting at 10:30am. Classes are one hour each for 6 weeks.

Each 6-week program is $150
