BASIC OBEDIENCE

Level 3 - Introduction to Novice Obedience

This class introduces the specific exercises in the AKC Novice Obedience class including

heeling patterns
figure eight
recalls
fronts
finishes
stand for exam
long stays

Those not intending to compete may still enjoy learning these exercises, and their dogs can benefit from the increased precision and the deeper level of bonding that will take place.

Many students wish to repeat Level 3, as needed, before moving on to Level 4.
