vIPet  services  Intermediate Obedience  Group  Class ​
VIPet's Intermediate Obedience Group class is for those whom have attended the Puppy Group Class or Basic Obedience Group Class.  The age for this class starts at 5 months old. Reason being after 5 months your dog has reached the maturity level in which they are capable of longer impulse control. If your dogs age falls short of this mark, keep on practicing the lessons learned from your previous class until your fur baby is ready. 

Classes run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting at 6 PM for one hour. The program is a total of six weeks. During these six weeks your dog will learn to hold their commands for increased time, distance and distractions Theresa will guide you through this boot camp mentality....what she calls "getting out of kindergarten". 

To make sure your dog is getting proper training along with the answers you are looking for, VIPet's group classes max out at four dogs. Each week you will have homework to work on until your next scheduled class. If at any time between classes you need guidance, contact Theresa and she will get back to you in a timely manner....best contact method is text.

The biggest factor in dog training is the human element and their communication with their dog. You will learn the different techniques and methods that this communication requires from proper leash handling to reading your dogs body language. You the handler need proper training as much if not more than the dog requires. Theresa's "show and tell" method sets you up for success showing you the proper methods needed. Then it's your turn....and you will be amazed at what you will learn. She will give you feedback while you are handling your dog for that specific task. Dog training is not an easy journey or else you would of not have reached out to VIPet.

Theresa's vast knowledge and experience will be applied to every single dog....not all dogs are created equal.....and not all dogs will be trained the same way. Her ability to "read" a dog and make a plan suited for that particular dog is truly amazing !! Bottom line is VIPet will achieve the results and realistic expectations your dog can aspire to. Again....experience and knowledge in any walk of life is of the utmost importance. Not only will she show you methods but also explain in layman's terms the reason for any action.

Please contact Theresa at VIPet Services to get many more answers to questions and concerns you may have along with availability.

What Our Clients Are Saying

My wife and I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Rooney attended Theresa’s puppy kindergarten when she was a pup and it was a great class and introduction to the basics. When Roo turned 1 year old we did a lot of research on continuing training with Roo. We interviewed many trainer’s about their board and train programs. Some good and some not so good. We needed to feel assured that Roo would be safe and receive the proper training she needs. We knew how great Theresa is and why were we wasting our time interviewing others?! We contacted Theresa and scheduled Roo’s 3 week program. Roo stayed in Theresa’s home and was part of her pack which was very important to us. Theresa sent us videos and updates which made us feel good. After the 3 weeks,Theresa trained us and followed up @ our house to check on Roo. Roo now does all her commands and is a pleasure on our walks. Roo is a happier dog now that she knows her boundaries. As I’m writing this, Roo is on her “place” behaving 😀. Theresa is the best and we highly recommend her. Thank you Theresa for making our lives more calm 😎😎😎  J. Gaffney
