Did you know we have daily drop-in hours?

Drop-in lessons are a great way to get some face-face time with our trainer to work on skills you may be struggling with (loose leash walking, an obedience cue, handler focus, positionals or even behavioral issues) in a group environment with no schedule commitments. Students may come in during these hours to work with the trainer on an area of their choice at our facility without making an appointment or booking multiple lessons- it is pay as you go. Drop-ins are $25 per hour

You must register your dog (free) on the website and upload your vaccine records prior to bringing them to a drop-in, but once registered you can come any day as often as you would like.

To register your dog, visit https://www.achieveobedience.com/schedule-an-appointment

GROUP CLASSES AT OUR NEW FACILITY BEGIN NOVEMBER 15th (Saturday)

We will be offering the following classes to start:

-12pm: Handler Skills class (Drop in):

this time slot is designed to allow registered students to come in for one hour and practice with the trainer in areas where they may be struggling. (leash skills, reinforcement timing, focus, struggling with proofing a cue) price of this class is $25 per class, paid upon arrival. You will need to pre-register your dog and provide vet records ahead of time if you think you may want to attend a drop-in class but there is no requirement to attend! You may attend one or two classes or all six classes. Runs for six weeks.

-2pm AKC S.T.A.R Puppy class:

Designed for puppies 12 weeks to 6 months of age, this class will take you through the foundation skills for the canine good citizen test and address common behavioral problem areas with puppies. Runs for 6 weeks. Test, titling and ribbons available upon graduation!

-4pm AKC CGC class:

Designed for dogs 6 months and older, this class will take you through fundamental obedience behaviors and prepare you and your dog to take the Canine Good Citizenship test at the end of the series. Test and titling available/included.

-6pm Novice Rally class

Rally Obedience is a fantastic introduction to the world of competitive dog sports and a great activity/enrichment for both handler and dog. Basic obedience skills (sit, down, loose leash walking, stay) are required prior to entry to this class. At the end of these classes you will have the opportunity to film your runs in order to submit them to AKC for rally titles.

Standard courses are $149 for six weeks, drop in classes are $25. We will be adding additional days/classes to the schedule soon, so if you would like to attend a class but the time does not work for you, please check back! If you have questions, call/text us at 336-247-8074 or message us here!

We are incredibly thrilled to announce that we are moving into a new facility in Mocksville beginning November 1st. This brand new 1500 square foot building will allow us to hold group and private classes in one centralized location. We will also have a large fenced area to hold rally, loose leash and other classes/seminars. We will be located 1 mile from Hwy 40 and 601N in Mocksville (exit 170) just past the Walmart shopping center.

Our new address will be 144 Chance Lane, Mocksville.

We plan to spend the next few weeks preparing the facility and installing fencing! Stay tuned for progress updates and pictures. Look for our class schedule to be posted on November 5th with links to enroll.

We can’t wait to see you in class! Thank you for supporting your local small businesses!

Good afternoon students and friends!

I want to thank everyone for handling our hiatus with such grace and kindness. As many of you know, we were dealing with an emergency medical situation with my young son and had to take the summer off from teaching group classes and taking on new private clients.

I am very happy to announce that we are once again taking on new private training clients in the Mocksville, Clemmons, Bermuda Run, Winston Salem and Salisbury areas. We will also begin enrolling for group classes again within the next week or two, once arrangements are finalized.

I am also extremely excited to announce the addition of two new services we will offer to our local clients- Petsitting in your home and dog walking services. Dog walking services range from a 20 minute enrichment walk to a one hour off site hiking adventure with or without training added in.

Our sitters/walkers are licensed and insured and trained in pet first aid and CPR, and all dogs transported for off-site hikes will be transported
In professional, crash rates crates.

If interested in learning more about these services, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you again so much and I look forward to meeting new clients and seeing old friends again!
