We will not allow retractable leashes, as they do not promote proper social distancing practices. We are only allowing 2 handlers per pet in class. We ask that if you have not been feeling well, or anyone in the household have been sick, please do not attend class. We will be more than happy to email homework or we offer a make-up class the 2nd Saturday of the month at 1pm.
At Chisholm Creek Pet Resort, our obedience training program is second to none! With our spacious, well-equipped training center and focus on positive reinforcement training, your pup is sure to be the most well-behaved on the block.

You and your dog learn to negotiate through a course of exercises and are judged according to proficiency and time. Must be current on Rabies, DHLPP and Bordetella.
IN-HOUSE TRAINING PROGRAM
The In-House Training Program is an intensive 3-week program. Your pet will stay with us for 3 weeks in our climate-controlled facility and learn all of the basic obedience skills such as: to heel (walk politely on a leash) with an automatic sit, sit and down on command, stay, and come when called. They also learn that “No” means to stop what they are doing (very handy for undesirable behaviors such as jumping and mouthing). Your pet will participate in Daycamp, which allows the dog to go out each weekday for much needing socializing. At the end of the 3-week stay, we bathe your dog so they come home smelling fresh and clean. You will also receive 2 private lessons with the trainers (1 the day you pick up your dog, and 1 scheduled a month later) to help you and your pet to work as a team. Dogs that have completed the In-house training program (including the follow-up lessons) are guaranteed to have solid on-lead obedience skills. Many people enjoy utilizing this program when they are leaving town for an extended period. For dogs 5 months of age and older. Must be current on Rabies, DHLPP and Bordetella.
