E-DOT LLC

E-DOT offers both group classes and private, one-on-one sessions, with in-home training also available. A “Meet And Greet Assessment” is a 30-minute session designed to prepare dogs for group classes.

Core obedience classes include Level One – Basic Obedience, a seven-week program focusing on foundational commands like sit, down, stay, loose-leash heeling, recall, and hand signals using positive reward-based training. Level Two – Advanced Obedience is also a seven-week program that enhances skills by introducing greater distraction levels, outdoor training, Rally exercises, and Canine Good Citizen exercises. The Perfect Your Skills Level Three Obedience Class is a four-week, 45-minute session for advanced clients, working on pedestal/platform work, off-leash work, stays, and positional changes.

Specialty classes include Confidence Building With Tricks and Boundaries, which focuses on fun activities like tunnels, weaves, jumps, and building confidence on uneven surfaces. AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification Training is a six-week program designed to drill the necessary items for AKC CGC certification. Have Fun With Rally is a six-week class that builds on obedience skills from previous levels, encouraging teamwork and fun.

Walk as a Pack Classes are offered in Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, each running for four consecutive weeks, 45 minutes per session. These classes focus on heel position, loose leash walking, focus work, and settling, with higher levels involving training outside the facility. Private walking sessions are also available. Additionally, the AKC Fit Dog – Walk As A Pack Class is a monthly group walk for exercise, not a teaching class.
