Do you have a new canine companion who needs guidance? For some, watching a few episodes of Cesar Milan simply won’t cut it. In most cases, the need for a formal regimen of obedience training will become necessary.
Enter Sportsmen’s Dog Training Club of Detroit.
Granted an A+ by the Better Business Bureau, Sportsmen has been serving the metro Detroit area since 1942. In addition to beginner classes for new dog/puppy owners, their seasoned staff can prepare more adventurous customers for advanced levels of obedience training. All courses are American Kennel Club-approved, including S.T.A.R. (Socialization, Training, Activity, and a Responsible owner) for puppy training and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) for adult dogs. Course lengths range between 4 to 6 weeks, at roughly one hour per week.
Their 7,500 square foot facility provides space and safety (with rubber padded floors) for you and your four-legged friend. Additionally, Sportsmen’s offers training in agility, rally (obstacles), tricks, and scent work. Beginner and advanced courses, as well as friendly competitive trials, are available.
