Obedience Courses

Of course, you love your dog! They are nothing short of amazing and loyally right by your side. This is why it is essential to introduce your dog to a form of dog training.

Every dog, regardless of breed, benefit from a good training program. Proper dog training can help develop a healthy and strong relationship between you, the owner, and your four-legged companion. Dog training also generally helps your dog become adaptable and comfortable in social situations and well-mannered in various environments.

Contrary to popular belief, you can always teach a dog new tricks. At Healthy Spot, we offer a variety of official certified training classes for dogs of all ages in accordance with the AKC, from expert trainer Bobbi-Lynn Riley, Certified Pet Dog Trainer(C.P.D.T.) and AKC Approved CGC Evaluator.

Read on to find the training that is right for your dog, whether you have a precious puppy who may need some initial behavioral training or an all-around dog who is ready to become a Canine Good Citizen. Our dog trainings with the Riley Dog Training team incorporate positive motivational techniques and address behavioral modification. Trainings are typically six-week group courses at our Healthy Spot locations – schedules are updated regularly; please give us a call to find out the latest available schedules for enrollment.

We will give you further information upon enrollment but all you will need to bring to your classes are:

• Six-foot leash
• A flat buckle collar (no chokes or pinch collars)
• Some yummy treats such as Zuke's Minis or Ziwipeak.
• A hungry dog and a positive attitude.

Group Class Requirements

We will go over all the requirements with you once you and your dog are signed up. There are just a few little things to check off your list so we ensure that your dog is ready to attend our fun-filled group sessions. All dogs must have had all of the following required shots and bring with them proof of vaccinations for Parvo, Distemper, Bortadella and Rabies(A titers are also acceptable). All dogs must be licensed (with tags).

Each person may handle one dog only. If you have more than one dog, please bring another person to work with the 2nd dog. You will be able to switch back and forth, if you like.

While learning valuable lessons, we encourage you to have fun! Graduation day includes fun dog and owner games! If you have any additional concerns or questions, feel free to ask us.
