Puppy Next Steps Basic Obedience is run by mother and daughter team, Ali and Alana. It is a 5 week intensive fast-paced course based on leadership skills and basic obedience. Leadership skills play a huge part in training a puppy and laying the foundation for building good obedience training.
This basic obedience course covers:
- Sit
- Stay
- Down
- Basic recall
- Walking nicely on a leash
After the course, many of our students advance to one-on-one training to gain the control they require from the class format.

A proper collar and leash are needed to teach your puppy how to walk nicely on a leash. These common problems are addressed: temper tantrums, fearfulness, and leash aggression.

Getting a puppy to obey at an early age sets a strong foundation for more advanced training. Early socialization teaches your puppy to behave properly around other animals.
