Obedience at It’s A Dog’s World
Our pet dog obedience and rally-o classes are fun and informative. Focusing on reliable and happy performances as the end-goal, our classes are thorough and focus on using positive reinforcement. We aim to help owners develop lasting and fulfilling relationships with well behaved pets.
Start your puppy off right in our Puppy Preschool classes, then move on to Puppy Kindergarten, or start with your older dog in Pet Dog Obedience. These classes are just a jumping-off point to a wide menu of classes, including our rally-o classes, and our “fun and focus” pre-performance (agility, competitive obedience, or rally-o) classes.

Not sure which class to take? Click HERE for a series of questions that will help you decide!
What if a class is full? If a class is full, you may still be able to join. While we cannot guarantee it, there are often last minute class cancellations and no shows in our puppy kindergarten and pet dog obedience classes. Come on the first night of class with your pet and you may still be able to join the class if there are no-shows! Please be respectful to those already registered in the class, however, and refrain from bringing your pet in to the building until you know whether or not an opening is available. Thanks!
Private Lessons
Private lessons are available for you and your dog from our instructors. To schedule a private lesson, please contact us.

What do I need to bring to class?
A hungry dog, on a flat buckle or snap collar, and a regular (no flexi leads!) 4-6 foot leash. Also, poop baggies, and lots of soft chewy training treats. Throw in a notebook and writing utensil, as well as a couple of your dog’s favorite toys. These can all go in a small duffle or tote bag that you can bring to class each week.
What do I need to do before class?
Make sure that your dog is current on all of its vaccinations, and has what we call a ‘negative fecal exam’. This means that your dog’s stool has been checked by a veterinarian and found to be clear of intestinal parasites. This is especially important for puppies, who are prone to picking up intestinal parasites, since they are always sniffing and investigating things on the ground!
How do I pay?
You can call any time at 253-863-2258 to pay over the phone with any type of credit card. You can also mail checks to us at 16024 60th St., Sumner, WA 98390, before class. If you are paying the day of class, please arrive early enough to take care of payment, potty your dog, and be ready to go when class starts.
