Collectively, COGRC instructors have over 100 years of experience and expertise with a variety of dog breeds.

Our training uses positive reinforcement and balanced dog training techniques. Our instructors participate in continuing education to keep up with best practices, which gives our students information and techniques to effectively train their dogs and improve the canine-human relationship.

All dogs participating in our obedience classes must show documentation from their veterinarian that they have received the both rounds of the H3N2/H3N8 (Canine Influenza) or are up to date on their annual yearly booster.
