St. Paul Dog Training Club

Beginner Obedience Classes
If your dog is six months or older we invite you to our ten week Beginner level class. This is where the paw meets the pavement! You will learn proper leash handling, positive behavior modification and corrections. You and your dog will learn heeling, sits, stays, downs, recalls, stand for exam, and finishes. No more questions about who's taking whom for a walk!

Orientation for Beginner Class
All Beginner level classes start with a training orientation session which is the first class of the ten week session. This orientation class does not involve your dog so leave him or her at home until the second week of class. Both Tuesday evening and Wednesday daytime students are required to attend the Tuesday evening orientation at 6:30 p.m and you will learn do's and don'ts as well as training theories before introducing your dog to classes.

When: We accept up to 30 students for this highly popular class on a first come first served basis. While this may sound like a lot of students we split them up between two start times on Tuesday nights, 6:00 and 8:00 p.m., with two instructors per class to provide plenty of attention. In addition we offer a Wednesday morning class at 9:00 a.m.. For students who wish additional attention, instructors offer limited one on one time before or after class. Please set this up in advance with the instructors. Our goal is to help you be at your best, but your involvement is key to your own success.  

2012 Start Dates: February 14 • April 24 • July 3 • September 11 • November 20. For more information see the club calendar, contact SPDTC at 651-455-2431 or email the Director of Obedience at obedience@spdtc.com.

Cost: $100 for 10 weeks.

Refunds: Refunds are not given, however alternate class dates can sometimes be arranged. If SPDTC cancels classes for any reason students will be given a credit on the next block of classes.
