What is Basic Obedience?

Are you ready to fine-tune your dog’s skills? Do they need to work on their basic obedience, not jumping, and not pulling on the leash?

Come on down to Joybound People & Pets for our Basic Obedience Class!

This class will dive into how to train your furry friend to be more responsive to commands, how to be calmer in the house, and help shape an overall more well-behaved canine best friend.

Upcoming Basic Obedience Sessions

Before your first class (or even before signing up), please view our training policies. These policies are design not only for your and your pet’s safety, but to ensure classes run smoothly and effectively. Remember, both for shelter animals and public classes, all of Joybound’s dog training is done via positive reinforcement methods.
