Competition Obedience is a great way to demonstrate all of the hours of training that you have done with your dog. Obedience is a great way to establish good communication skills between you and your dog, and expand on your training and is ideal for graduates of Family Dog II.
Obedience is one of the AKC’s oldest sporting events. Obedience trials feature dogs that are well-behaved at home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs. It is essential that the obedience dog demonstrates willingness and enjoyment while it is working with the handler. Some of the exercises include heeling, sit, stay and recall in a formalized pattern in a show ring.
Beginner Obedience is a great way to enter the world of dog sports. AKC is open to all breeds of dogs, and mixed breeds too.
Intro to Competition Obedience will be a fun, upbeat class: Our motto is "If you and your dog are not having fun, it is not worth doing."
