This class will be held at Pet Planet, 600 Manitou Road SE, Calgary      
Got your basics, but need to get "ring ready"?  This is the class for you!  We'll work on presentation, what will be expected of you, what you can expect of the judge and how you can prepare your dog to fend off "ring stress".  We'll do plenty of  "run throughs" and parts of them.

Bring your dog's favorite toy, lots of good treats and a happy attitude!

   
         
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.
