Obedience Classes

Obedience classes are held in the Renton-Maple Valley Arena. Our classes provide a positive, supportive environment for you, your family and your dog to learn basic and advanced obedience. Our obedience program is designed to assist you in teaching your dog excellent manners at home. Advanced obedience classes also teach your dog to act as a true companion, accompanying you into the community.

Rally Obedience

Rally Obedience or RallyO is a fun sport for handlers to enjoy with their dogs. In RallyO, handlers and dogs learn to navigate a numbered course made up of individual task stations. RallyO is an ongoing class, and is appropriate for teams who are just starting out, or those preparing to compete. Pre-requisites: Intermediate obedience with Monique, or instructor approval.

Puppy Pre-School

In addition, puppy play time for socialization will be provided and house training, nutrition, health care, mouthing, digging, chewing, jumping up, and other puppy problems will be covered. Do not bring your dog the first week!

Beginning Obedience

Dogs learn controlled leash walking, sit-stay, down-stay, coming when called, and appropriate social behaviors. Behavior problems, nutrition, and health care are also covered. Do not bring your dog the first week!

Intermediate Obedience

Agility Competition Training Classes

Novice, Open, and Elite

Novice Competition Classes prepare dogs and handlers for beginning level competition. In Open and Elite Prep, you practice and refine advanced competition skills and strategies on AKC, USDAA and NADAC courses, as well as work to improve handling and teamwork with exercises and training games. Classes are divided and work in small groups of three to five people that rotate through three equipment areas. One features course work, another training exercises, and the third focuses on obstacle discrimination, weave pole entries, and other specific skills. There will be an instructor/coach for each area, video taping for feedback, and maps provided in advance so you can plan and make the most of each class. These classes are on-going with a monthly fee.

To register for competition classes, in addition to instructor approval, the following pre-requisites apply:

1. For all classes, you must have off leash control, be able to keep the dog on task (no ditz runs, excess sniffing, dog aggression, etc.) know how to perform all the equipment, and be able to run a full course.
