Obedience
Kelsey with Midas (5 months)
graduating from Puppy Class (2005)
One aspect of puppy class is calm
and friendly socialization.  Here Ozzy
meets a beautiful Husky puppy.

Obedience training provides a great
bonding experience between handler and dog, provides socialization experiences
for the dog, and prepares the dog to be welcomed into its community.   
We support early puppy classes and continued training.
Odyssey's Puppy class.  We had a great group of puppies and families.  
Pictured are Fonzi, Odyssey, Harley, and Honey Bun (and their families, of
course).   Thanks to our teacher Cristi for a fun and informative class!
Terri, Kelsey and 5 month old Odyssey
are all smiles following graduation.
HAVING FUN!

In addition to obedience training, we love teaching our
Shilohs to perform all types of fun tricks.  Known for their
incredible intelligence, Shilohs are limited only by our
imagination!

We look forward to competing in titling

Alosia and Kelsey participate on their first day of puppy class
at Pawsitive Attitudes.
Alosia began classes within 2 weeks of joining Xanadu.
Congratulations!

Alosia graduated from Pawsitive Attitudes
'mini' puppy training on August 10, 2009.

This 4 week class was offered for puppies and
owners who did not want to wait until the 8 weeks
class was available.  It gave us a great way to start
our puppies out on the right path!

Alosia's training will continue.  She did great!
