Rally: For dogs with good manners at home, in public and in the presence of other dogs. This is a basis for rally competition . Rally provides a link from the Canine Good Neighbor (CGN) program to obedience or agility, both for dogs and handlers. In addition, rally promotes fun and enjoyment for all dogs at all levels of competition. For more information on Rally O, please visit these webpages

Novice:  for those dogs that have successfully completed the pre-novice level exercises.  Further training and practice is provided to prepare the dogs and handlers for competition in fun matches and/or trials at the Novice level.

Trial Novice: In Trial Novice class we prepare the student for trial by working on the specific exercises of the novice class plus important attention exercises. Precision, endurance and common distractions are stressed during this training while at the same time having fun with the dog.

Open:  exercises include retrieving, jumping and stationary exercises performed with the handler out of sight.

Utility: the ultimate level in obedience training, includes independent work by the dog in locating scented items, and obeying hand signals from its handler.

Member's Training Night: Open to BDOC members only, an opportunity to get together and work on training their dogs or just socialize.  Some of the instructors will be available if anyone requires help.  There will be a nominal charge of a tooney ($2.00) per evening.
