Our Programs

All Breed Obedience Training Club

New dogs are accepted on the first Wednesday of each month.
Classes are every Wednesday from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Early arrival is strongly encouraged.
Classes are held year-round, so dress appropriately.
In case of inclement weather (lightning, temp below 32°F or temp above 100°F) please check Facebook to confirm class status.

The Eight Week Beginner program is designed so you learn two or more new exercises each class period. You get 4 weeks of beginner class and 4 weeks of advanced beginner class.
You will learn how to train your dog to “heal on leash”, “sit”, “stay”, “down”, “come” and “stand”. Your dog will also learn how to pay attention to you instead of all the other dogs and people, as well as become more sociable.
Everyone has an opportunity to make up missed classes. At the end of the Eight Week program, you will have the opportunity to become a member of ABOTC and move to Intermediate and Advanced training.

Membership in ABOTC includes weekly training for a full year in the Intermediate and Advanced Classes. Our memberships are based on the calendar year and are prorated throughout the year to coincide with the month you join.
Weekly classes focus on strengthening basic commands, impulse control and more challenging skills with distance, duration and increased distractions.
Annual dues are $125 per individual or family, so if your family has more than one dog, you and your dogs will all be ABOTC members..

AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) is a program that is open to all dogs (purebred and mixed breed) that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.
All dogs who pass the 10-skill CGC test may receive a title or certificate from the American Kennel Club. The CGC Program lays the foundation for other AKC activities such as obedience, agility, tracking and performance events as well as providing a solid foundation for Therapy Dog Certification.
This five week program is offered in the spring and in the fall.

All our instructors are volunteers, who are not being paid. They instruct your classes because they want to encourage dog obedience, and loving and caring for your dog.
Be sure to pick up after your dog if there is an accident before, during or after class.
Please remember to bring water, bug-spray, poop bags and other personal items for yourself and your dog.
