OUR DOG TRAINING CENTER

 

 

 

The Dogwood Pet Hotel & Day Spa is excited to introduce Level Obedience Training. Now you and your dog can learn at a pace that works for you, attending classes that fit your schedule and your dog's training needs.


With a Levels Obedience Punch Card, you can come to classes as often as you like for as long as you like! Get as much or as little training as you want based on your own needs and expectations for your dog. You can attend classes at your level, or any lower level and classes are available most days of the week. Check our schedule to see when each level is offered (at the bottom of this page). Move through all four levels or stay at any level that meets your training goals! 


Before beginning class, all new clients must attend an orientation (without your dog) offered the second Tuesday of each month at 6:15pm. All dogs start in Level 1 and will be moved up according to their abilities. 


Every owner and family wants a dog to be kind, functional and fun member of their family. That does not happen without effort or education. Consider dog training as a worthy investment of your time and money to help your dog learn the commands and manners necessary to be a wonderful member of your family. Without proper training and socialization, dog ownership can be a frustrating, expensive and problematic endeavor!
