Here at Eisern K9 our Family Dog courses are designed to prepare your dog for real-world scenarios and to teach you and your family how to best communicate with your companion. As you complete each course you and your dog will take the corresponding AKC Canine Good Citizen test. If your dog is AKC registered this can be applied as a title, and for dogs who are not AKC registered you may apply for the certificate if desired. You and your dog must pass each test to advance to the next level of courses.
All courses may be taken in group or private classes. Depending on availability we may not be able to get everyone in private or fit everyone into group lessons. When signing up for classes your intake form will automatically be sent to our waiting list where we will contact you as soon as possible to schedule you. For those on our waitlist, you can expect to be contacted within three (3) business days. These courses are not for dogs with major behavioral issues. If your dog has behavioral issues then please check out our Behavior Modification page.
