Rising K-9 offers a variety of programs tailored to individual dog and owner needs. Their Basic and Advanced Programs are available as Day-Trains or Board and Trains.
The Puppy Preschool program is for dogs aged 8 weeks to 5 months, covering potty training, crate training, socializing, confidence building, basic manners, and basic dog psychology.
The Basic Obedience Course is for dogs 6 months and older, focusing on house and leash manners, confidence building, and on-leash commands like Sit, Stay, Down, Heel, Recall, and Place. Dogs must be crate-trained prior to the start of this program.
The Advanced Obedience Course builds upon the Basic course, transitioning commands to off-leash work, including recalling at a distance, send to place, and off-leash heeling, while adding distance and duration to sits and downs. Completion of the Basic course is a prerequisite.
Group Classes are available for graduates of their basic obedience course, providing a structured setting to maintain training, introduce new material, and offer social interaction and exercise.
