| CKC Obedience | Mon Sept 29 - 7:30 pm | |||
| This class will be held at Pet Planet, 600 Manitou Road SE, Calgary | ||||
| We take a slightly different approach to competitive obedience at All Bright
Dogs. We want it to be fun for both the dog and the handler. We
teach skills using games, positive reinforcement and great attitudes - building
great attitudes in our working dogs! Our CKC Obedience class will teach you
what you need to know to be successful in the ring, and help your dog to
learn confidence and poise along the way.
We work all the levels in one group - your dog can advance at his/her own pace and work without getting bored! This class is for dog/handler teams who have taken our Novice Obedience class. |
