Starter basic AKC recommended obedience skills and manners for puppies 4 months to 10 months.

This class will be structured to introduce the Beginner Novice and Novice exercises for competition obedience to teams that have a desire to show in the AKC obedience ring. You will perform and practice the exercises required to earn a title for AKC Beginner Novice and AKC Novice Obedience levels.

The basic objective of Rally is to provide an activity that does not require extensive precision for success. AKC Rally is a highly motivational obedience class, which both you and your dog will enjoy tremendously.

This class will focus on the skills learned from previous classes and build on those skills for duration, distance and with distractions. We will also add new skills to your dogs tool box and prepare you for the Canine Good Citizen class.

Get ready for you and your dog to take The AKC CGC test. If this is your first class that you will be taking with your dog then we highly recommend you start with the AKC STAR Puppy class if your dog is under 10 months. This class teaches the 10 skills needed to pass the AKC CGC test. It is open to all dogs – purebred and mixed breeds. Having a CGC may be an advantage when renting a residence or obtaining homeowner insurance. The Canine Good Citizen test is a nationally recognized program that instills a sense of responsibility and good manners in dogs and owners alike.

Are you and your dog ready to try therapy work? Therapy dogs differ from service dogs(dogs trained to do a specific task for one person and allowed entry everywhere) and Emotional Support dogs(for one person, not necessarily trained, and may legally be denied entry).Therapy dogs are trained in basic obedience skills, expected to have pleasant and friendly personalities, accept petting by others, and are for everyone! Therapy dogs have to have permission from an establishment and be invited to enter. They are the only ones that carry identification, are tested and insured, and must be registered with a therapy group.

This class will NOT be teaching Basic Obedience. Your dog should be comfortable with other dogs, people, and new situations.

This class will meet on 4 Saturdays. The first class will be held at the Charleston Dog Training Club‘s building at 7644 Southrail Road in North Charleston. The remaining three classes will be held a various locations off-site.
