Basic Obedience & CGC Skills

Dog sitting outside being obedient

8-week course — $200 (includes STAR Puppy evaluation)
Instructor: John McLemore — john@awesomecritters.com

This course develops everyday manners while strengthening skills aligned with the AKC Canine Good Citizen program. Teams practice sit, down, stay, come, loose-leash walking, polite greetings, and working around distractions. Handlers learn timing, consistency, and positive reinforcement techniques. While the class prepares teams for the CGC test, the evaluation itself is not included. Perfect for dogs who need foundational skills or an obedience refresher.

Thursdays, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
January: 15, 22, 29
February: 5, 12, 19, 26
March: 5
