AKC Novice Obedience & Intro to Open

Service Description

This course is designed for dog and handler teams who have a solid foundation in basic obedience and are ready to take their skills to the next level. We will focus on the exercises required for the AKC Novice Obedience title (CD - Companion Dog) while also introducing the foundational skills needed for the Open Obedience class, specifically focusing on the broad jump, high jump, and dumbbell/hold with dowel. This class is ideal for teams who wish to compete in AKC Obedience trials or simply want to build a more precise and reliable working relationship with their dog. Handlers do not have to work on Open Exercises if not interested. Start 4/5/26 until 6/5/26. (8 Saturdays over 10 weeks.). Class will skip meeting on May 17 and May 30 due to Flint Trials and Memorial Day weekend. Saturdays at 11:00 am . Limit 5.
