Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned competitor, we welcome you! Our mantra for competition obedience is “Put a little wahoo in it!”. We believe that training should be FUN! We use positive reinforcement, shaping and a lot of motivational games to teach the dog to perform with attitude and accuracy.
Wahoo! Let’s train.
