Dog Training Classes

In the Edmond and Oklahoma City area, there are several good places to go to puppy or any age obedience classes. It is a good idea to visit the places we suggest below and talk to the instructors. The suggestions below vary in the price and the size of the classes. Paws for Life encourages classes that use positive reinforcement.

Opening in Feb. 2008. Positively Canine Dog Center, 7701 Broadway Extension Ste A3, Oklahoma City, OK 73116, 840-WAGS. To learn more about trainers Sandy Case and Marlene Lynch, visit the web site at http://www.positivelycanine.com

"Our goal is to create an environment where dogs and people can enjoy learning together. We don’t want to just have a positive dog training school, we want to have a positive dog training community, where like-minded people can come together, enjoy their dogs and learn. We plan to have social activities and open our school for socialization and play sessions, practice sessions and matches, and to bring in seminars for educational opportunities for the entire dog owning community."

Petsmart offers classes at all of their stores. They have a wide range of classes so call and find out which would best fit you and your dog. The Edmond Petsmart gives any dogs that have been adopted through the Edmond Animal Shelter $20.00 off on classes. This offer may change, so Paws for Life, Inc doesn't guarantee it is still ongoing. Please call 1-800-465-7387 ext. 5157 for training info or Lynne Bennett, pet training instructor, at 330-4079.
