To Be Determined
AKC Beginner Novice Preparation

Sit and down stay
Recall
Stand or sit for examination
To enroll in this class, dogs must be able to walk quietly on a loose leash and not be disruptive when other dogs are nearby. Dogs must be over 6 months of age. Dogs must have successfully completed a family pet manners, intermediate manners, or the equivalent.
