Group Classes

California School For Dogs Inc. offers several different types of classes:

Basic Obedience Classes
Our six-week basic obedience class covers all of the basic skills your dog needs to know to become a well-behaved member of your family. These skills include name recognition, come, sit, down, stay, proper greetings, loose leash walking, socialization and more.

This class is particularly good for puppies (12 weeks and older) and newly adopted dogs, and older dogs that seem to have forgotten everything they once knew. This training encourages bonding between a dog and his/her human and sets the stage for many good years to come.

Intermediate Obedience Classes
Our six-week intermediate obedience class takes basic obedience to a whole new level. In this class you and your dog learn to perform increasingly difficult behaviors while increasing your dog’s ability to perform behaviors for longer periods of time and in increasingly difficult situations.

This course is great for dogs who have completed a basic obedience class and who would benefit from continued training and greater challenges.

Obedience Classes à la Carte
Our à la Carte classes give you the opportunity to spend one whole hour focusing on a specific skill. This may be a difficult skill your dog has never been able to conquer or simply a skill that you would like your dog to learn but which isn’t included in regular obedience classes.

The beauty of our à la Carte program is that you get the concentration on a specific skill that is usually reserved for private instruction while paying class prices. This type of training is ideal for dogs of all ages
