The Greenville Area Dog Club winter session of obedience, agility, and conformation classes begins the week of January 7, 2013.
Through the years more classes have been added to meet the growing interest in dog training. Many people like the variety of classes available.
The Greenville Area Dog Club will be offering classes at the former U.S. Chemical building, located in the 5400 block of State Route 49.
Obedience classes begin Tuesday, January 8th.. Classes offered include puppy (12 weeks to five months), beginner, beginner novice, novice, open obedience, and conformation. (Note) Conformation will be on a different night.
“Our puppy and beginning obedience classes are designed to teach basic house manners, grooming and care of the dog, heeling, sit, down, stay, and other commands,” said Barb Rhoades, Director of Obedience training. She also added that a new class is being offered for clients who have completed beginner class and want to continue with training. The Beginner Novice class is designed to review what they learned in beginner class and correct any training mistakes or difficulties that have arisen as well as teach the first steps to receiving an AKC DEGREE called Beginner Novice. Some off lead work is introduced, as well as more advanced training methods. Dogs and clients who have taken the class have really enjoyed the experience.
Registration for obedience classes is from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, January 8th. Orientation and classes will follow registration.
Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations, and participants must bring a copy of the dog’s vaccination records to registration. Puppies must have had their first two sets of vaccinations to enroll in puppy class. Veterinarians need to certify all vaccinations given at home or by a breeder.
