Cedarwoods Canine Schools

Our Mission

At Cedarwoods Canine School, our mission is to provide a comprehensive and engaging training experience for dogs and their owners. Our knowledgeable and experienced trainers utilize scientifically-backed methods to help you build a strong bond with your dog, fostering a deeper understanding and respect for one another.

Our Training Philosophy

At Cedarwoods, we believe that every dog is unique, with their own strengths, weaknesses, and quirks. Our trainers take the time to understand and cater to each dog's individual needs, tailoring our training approach to suit their distinct personality. We're committed to helping you build a strong, trusting relationship with your dog, empowering you to make informed decisions about their care and training.

Basic Obedience

Join our group setting Basic Obedience Class and embark on an 8-week journey to a well-trained and obedient dog. Our experienced dog trainer will guide you through each lesson, providing clear explanations and sharing the underlying reasons behind the training techniques. Throughout the course, your dog will acquire essential skills that lay the groundwork for a well-mannered and obedient companion. These skills include:

Attentiveness: Develop a strong focus on yourself, even in the presence of distractions.

Loose Leash Walking: Learn to walk calmly and beside you without pulling.

Sit and Stay: Sit automatically when you stop, and maintain both Sit-Stay and Down-Stay positions.

Recall, Stand, and Finish: Understand and respond reliably to commands for recall, standing, and finishing.

Invest in your dog's obedience today and establish a strong foundation for a well-behaved companion.

Advanced Obedience

Take your dog's training to the next level with our 12-week Offlead Course, designed for dogs who have completed our Basic Obedience Class. Our indoor classes cover advanced skills like recall and leash walking with distractions. Enroll now for a fun and challenging training experience with your dog.

Private Lessons

Our private one-on-one 8-week Basic Obedience Course is perfect for dogs that are reactive around other dogs and people or need a more personalized training course. The private course covers all the same skills as the group Basic Obedience course.

Tune-Up Classes

Join our Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday Tune-Up Classes to work with distractions in a safe and controlled environment. Enhance your dog's skills and reinforce their training in a fun and engaging way.

Make-Up Classes

We understand that life can be unpredictable. If you're unable to attend a particular class during one of our courses, we offer make-up classes to ensure you and your pup don't miss a beat.
