Dog Obedience Group

I really can’t think of anything I didn’t like about this place.
I’m a new dog owner — my wife and I got our Great Pyrenees mix, Andy, a couple of months ago. After an incident at the dog park where Andy was a bit too exuberant with a dog who didn’t want to play back, and we couldn’t call him back, we decided to try an obedience class. Even though this place is kind of far away from where we live (solid 30 minutes from Fairway), the price for a 6-​session class was right and it looked like a good, experienced positive training kind of place.
The Monday evening class (8:30−9:30) was fairly empty (4 other dogs), meaning we got more attention from the staff than I would expect in, say, a Saturday morning class. There are several trainers that do a class — they’ll switch off in teaching us commands, and they’ll split up to walk around the room when it’s time to try them out. It’s very obvious that everyone involved loves animals and the trainers took a real interest in everyone’s dogs.
In the 5 classes we attended we learned (or at least laid the foundation for) come, stay/​wait, heel and loose leash walking, look, sit/​stand/​down (alone and in combination, and sometimes with waiting thrown in), and leave it. The heel/​loose leash stuff was particularly effective — Andy is walking much, much better on the leash now than before the class.
This place also does puppy-​only classes and agility, though I can’t speak for those. If your dog needs to learn manners I’d recommend D.O.G.
