Basic Obedience (Level 3)

Do you want to make sure your dog’s cues are rock solid in real life scenarios? Join our Level 3 Basic Obedience class to fine tune all of those skills you’ve been working on. Learn new skills like body awareness, polite greetings with strangers using sit, stay, and down, and start learning how to teach your pup to cooperate with their own veterinary care. Class will be held both at the shelter and at nearby Papago Park. First classes will always be held at the shelter.

Class size: maximum of SIX dogs. 

What to Bring

• Current proof of dogs vaccinations (this is required for participation and must be uploaded at the time of registration)
• Completed Liability form (will be sent to you on confirmation of signing up for class)
• Yummy treats! (Treats that your dog LOVES). Please bring a variety of treats/rewards as we will not be able to share due to cross-contamination reasons.
