Build Manners.
Build The Team.
Beginner Novice is designed for adolescent dogs between 4 and 7 months old who are ready to begin building attention, responsibility, leash manners, and early obedience.
Start The ProcessAs young dogs move into adolescence, owners often start seeing more distraction, more independence, more energy, and more testing of boundaries.
Beginner Novice helps owners turn that stage into a productive training window by building structure, engagement, responsibility, and practical obedience.
Teach your young dog to notice you, respond to you, and stay connected when the environment gets interesting.
Begin building a dog who understands that he has a job to do, even around mild distractions.
Start developing better leash manners, follow-me skills, and early heeling foundations.
Help your dog learn patience, self-control, and calmer responses to everyday distractions.
Owners learn timing, leash handling, communication, and how their actions affect their dog.
The goal is not just obedience. The goal is a dog and owner learning how to work together.
Beginner Novice teaches owners the fundamentals of how dogs learn, how to motivate their dog, how to manage the training environment, and how to build useful obedience behaviors through clear communication and consistent practice.
This is where owners begin developing the handling skills and understanding needed for long-term success.
Young dogs begin learning useful obedience behaviors and automatic responses that create better manners.
Build early recall habits and teach the dog to come back with purpose and engagement.
Develop better leash manners and the beginning stages of structured walking.
Introduce patience, stillness, and calm behavior around people and controlled distractions.
This class is homework intensive. The classroom is where we teach you. At home each week is where you study, practice, and improve your handling skills.
Your effort matters. Dogs improve through repetition, consistency, and clear expectations between classes.
