Paw Paw's Fit Dog Club
Paw Paw's obedience training follows the guidelines associated with the AKC (American Kennel Club). AKC launched the AKC FIT DOG program where dog owners who walk a specified distance with their dogs can receive a free AKC FIT DOG car magnet and Paw Paw's bandana.
Paw Paw's Fit Dog Club is open to dogs and their owners who have been through one of the obedience training programs. Owners and dogs will be invited to attend a walk through Overton Park and other locations to observe the importance of fitness/conditioning, health, and well-being of their dog(s). Fitness walks will announced on our website and Facebook page.
​
Due to many dogs in our obedience training programs, careful scheduling and planning, and to ensure your dog will have placement, we require a down payment of 50% of the total obedience training fee at the time of scheduling your dog for training. This fee is non-refundable. Obedience training will begin on the agreed upon date.
​
Obedience Training will not be "extended" as attendance is mandatory for skills to be learned and attained. If your dog misses a day, or days, of obedience training for various reasons, it will not be "made-up". Dogs need to attend obedience training as indicated by the dates and terms on the Paw Paw's obedience training contract.

Sessions cover basic obedience commands as well as addressing aggression toward humans and other dogs, resource guarding, and impulse control. The dog will begin learning in an isolated environment. Based upon the obedience trainer's discretion and dog's "readiness", the owner, trainer, and dog will take field trips to various places.
​
Walk and Work Program
​
After your dog has completed one of the Daytraining or Board and Train programs, it is important to maintain your dog's obedience training skills! Sessions are designed for obedience training purposes with a focus on basic commands by continuing to ensure your dog walks nicely on leash, sits, downs, and performs other obedience skills.
​
The obedience trainer will come to the owner's residence and work and walk the dog for 45 minutes. During this time, all commands are revisited and practiced. We walk around the neighborhood or the dog may be transported to a location such as Big River Crossing, Overton Park, Shelby Farms, Home Depot, etc. This is also a great opportunity for your dog to exercise! Rain or Shine!
​
8 Days/Month- $480
12 Days / Month-$660
16 Days / Month-$800
​
If your dog is currently attending Paw Paw's Daycare program, the Walk and Work program is an additional $360 (8 sessions per month). Your dog will be transported, by Paw Paw's, to various locations such as parks and trails to walk and train.
​
​*Dog must enroll in the Walk and Work program within 1 month of completing one of Paw Paw's Daytraining or Board and Train obedience training programs.
