Wagging Good Dog Training is offering three, seven-week courses for $150: Basic Obedience for all breed sizes; Big Breed Basic Obedience for dogs with an estimated adult size over 60 pounds; and Bitty Breed Basic Obedience for dogs with an estimated adult size under 25 pounds.

            All three seven-week group courses are $150, counting the first class, an orientation that the dog does not attend. They cover basic obedience cues (sit, down, stay, touch, focus, come, leave it, heel, stand) and dog-related topics such as training equipment, body language, socialization and loose leash walking. A five-week private training package meets once a week for an hour at home and costs $200.

            Trainer Ellen Balanecki, ABCDT, says, “We believe the large breeds and small breeds have unique needs that aren’t always met with a training course that allows all sizes in the same class. We offer courses that allow you to choose the one that best fits you and your dog’s needs.” Because of the group class format, all dogs must be up to date with their DHPP vaccine. Puppies must have had at least two rounds of the DHPP vaccine.
