Dog Obedience Training
Imagine a happy, well-trained dog lying quietly at your feet while
you relax at home...or running happily back to you at the dog park when
you call. Whatever your goal is for you and your fuzzy friend, dog
training classes can help your faithful companion live up to his full
potential as man's best friend! Using gentle training methods based in
science and learning theory, you can get help with teaching your canine
basic manners or assist in resolving behavior problems.
Basic dog obedience training classes are sponsored by Delaware Humane Association in
partnership with Playtime
Doggie Daycare, and are taught by a certified professional dog
trainer from Positive
Results Dog Training in group training format. All classes are taught using "positive
reinforcement" techniques and gentle training methods, so training is
fun and stress-free for you and your dog. Classes are limited in size to
maximize your dog's learning experience and to allow the trainer to
provide personalized instruction.
