Corwyn has always believed in a
strong foundation of obedience
for our personal dogs. We
recommend at least a basic
obedience class for every puppy
we place, and support our puppy
families with advice and problem
solving for the life of any dog we
place. Obedience training is one
of the most important things you
can provide your pointer to help
him learn to behave as a part of
your family and to keep him safe.

In addition to training for at home and
"real life" Corwyn has always participated
in competitive obedience with our personal
dogs. Through the years we've had
increasing success in the ring with our
dogs, learning thru experience.
