Create a Lasting Relationship with Your Canine
Welcome to All–Star Canine Class. We are committed to helping you create a positive and lasting relationship between you and your dog. Many behavior problems can be prevented or solved with positive, consistent training and socialization. All–Star Canine Class teaches you how to train your dog to watch you, sit, go to your bed, behave on a leash and more. We also have a problem solving “parent class” in the sixth week.
- Classes meet once a week for six weeks.
- Each class lasts about an hour.
- First class is orientation; please do not bring your dog.
- Course fee is $125. (A $30 discount is given if you adopted from MDSPCA.) Low income vouchers are available.
- Classes are for dogs age four months and older.
