Come, learn, stay! Onward Bound is now offering group obedience classes at Wags & Barks Doggy Daycare in Slinger Wisconsin.

Classes will have a limit of four teams and run for six weeks. In these classes your dog will learn basic obedience such as sit, down, coming when called, walking on a loose leash, and so much more! Our classes focus on real life manners rather than traditional obedience to ensure you have the canine companion that you have always dreamed of!

Our classes are structured on a levels system rather than separated by age. Most dogs will start in level one, you are able to "test out" if you feel your dog has more advanced skills.

The cost of each six week class is $120

In our classes we play games to help skills stick and make learning fun. In class we cover basic behavior problems such as jumping, chewing, potty training, and barking. Our classes and training is family friendly!

Level Two Manners

Level Three Manners and CGC

In the third level of our manners class we focus on skills for passing the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test. Many of the skills from the first two levels will be practiced with increasing distraction to meet and exceed the expectations of the test. On the week following the completion of the class teams may take the test with an additional fee.
​
During this class we can also work towards the AKC new trick dog program with weekly tricks to practice.

This class is largely student driven. Those that make it to level three have developed a good training partnership with their dogs and enjoy working with them. Many times we veer off track because a group has a shared interest (agility, nosework, rally, competition obedience).  
In the second level of our manners class you will hone the skills developed in level one. We start more advanced training with distance work and distractions.

In addition your dog will learn
  • Sit
  • Down
  • ​Accepting grooming
  • On leash greetings of both dogs and people
  • Basic coming when called
  • Basic loose leash walking
  • Leave it
  • Settle ​
  • Go around object

Agility Classes- Taught in West Bend at Go Over! Rover Thursdays at 6:00pm

Agility dog training even if you don’t recognize it by name, you have probably seen a dog agility competition. Designed to demonstrate a dog’s willingness to work with his handler in a variety of situations, agility is an athletic event that requires conditioning, concentration, training, and teamwork. Dogs and handler teams must negotiate an obstacle course while racing against the clock. Dog agility is a great form of exercise for both dog and handler, and a fun way to bond. And you don’t have to compete to enjoy agility. Taking an agility class offers many other benefits. But many people start the sport just for fun, only to get bitten by the agility bug and become lifelong competitors!
