Basic Obedience & Manners
This class is intended to be your adult dog’s introduction to obedience and manners training. Topics include basic commands such as sit, stay, down, come, walking on a loose leash, and the all-important manners. These include greeting guests respectfully, playing nice, and learning to behave during grooming/nail trimming.
Obedience Level 2
This class is the next step after our Basic Obedience & Manners course. You’ll further develop the basic exercises from the previous class including heeling. This class begins off leash training and finishes. It’s a great step for those wanting to improve their dog’s obedience work as well as those considering competition.
Puppy Kindergarten
Congratulations on your new puppy! This class includes all the basics to build a solid foundation for your new family member. Topics include socialization, positive reinforcement, basic commands (sit, stay, down), house training, behavior modification, walking on a loose leash, and constructive play/exercise. This class includes custom handouts and exercises for practice at home.
Rally Obedience Fun Class
Students of this exciting class must have already had basic obedience training. Rally Obedience is fun for both you and your dog! Rally is a sport that combines basic obedience with a pattern guided by signs. This class reinforces your dog’s obedience skills and introduces you to this fun, rising canine sport.
Conformation Class
This class is for people new to dog showing or for those who wish to develop their conformation handling skills. The class follows a proven curriculum to get you and your dog on your way to the show ring.
Performance Basics
If you’ve considered doing agility with your dog or any performance event, this is the class for you. We also welcome anyone wanting to build a good foundation for their dog or to give their puppy opportunities to try new experiences beyond the puppy kindergarten class. Dogs of all ages are welcome as long as they’ve taken a basic obedience or basic puppy class. We’ll work on skills needed for a foundation in agility and other performance events while also providing exposure to some obstacles.

Benefits of Professional Training
Dogs are naturally smart and eager to learn, but training doesn’t often come easy at home. If you’ve tried training your dog on your own, you’ve likely run into more than your fair share of confusion and frustration. Professional trainers are here to untangle the lines of communication between you and your dog and help you establish a better relationship than ever.
- Years of experience with dogs of all kinds. Our training team has seen it all—from lovable Labradors to bouncy Beagles, we’ve had success with dogs of all ages and personalities. Because we’re educated in multiple training techniques, we can figure out what your dog responds to best.
- Multiple trainers on staff. Working with a team of trainers is a much more beneficial experience than working with only one trainer. When your dog works with multiple faces and voices, they learn to respond to the cue—not just the one person giving the cue. Plus, having a dedicated training staff lets us provide comprehensive follow-up support to our program graduates.
- The best environment for learning. Our training center has all the tools we need to help your dog learn. Because we can control the amount of distractions and incentives, we can impart lasting knowledge that stands up to the world outside Canal Bark.
- Lots of knowledge for you to keep. At the conclusion of our training programs, you’ll go home with all the tools you need to maintain your dog’s training now and in the future. We’ll equip you with practice exercises, training tips, information on your breed, and much more.
