Do you own a "NAUGHTY DOG"? We can save your canine from the "dog house"! Oscar's Pet Resort of Greenfield provides you with canine education classes taught by a professional dog trainer for all ages. These classes are specifically designed to meet your family's training and your dog's behavioral needs. There is no "cookie cutter" fit for every dog. In our classes you will learn what best motivates your dog.
Our canine training classes utilize positive and gentle training techniques to allow you and your dog to achieve success in puppy, basic or advanced manners. Training will greatly enhance the bond between you and your dog. Dogs who have a solid education are a joy to live with--they respond well to family routines, have good manners in the presence of people and other dogs, and they fully enjoy their owners who took the time to provide training and a high quality life.
Classes are held in our large gym area and are 50 to 60 minutes in length. There is a limit of six dogs in each class (unless otherwise specified), so please register early. Once a completed class enrollment form and payment are received, space in the particular class will be reserved. Owners will then receive a email or phone call from Michelle Carroll, Trainer, to inform you of required vaccinations (DHLPP, Rabies and Bordetella), equipment needs, dates & times.
We offer a 10% discount to all dogs adopted from a rescue organization for their first training class if the class start date is selected within six months of adoption. Please provide copy of adoption contract to receive discount.
Tending to your puppy's obedience is the smartest first step of being a responsible dog owner.

Some tricks will be introduced for fun; however, it is primarily geared towards preparing you and your dog for the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen Test. It will cover all 10 steps of the test and lay the foundation for other activities such as AKC's obedience, agility, tracking, and performance events.
