obedience school

Puppy training facility

Obedience school is training for dogs, teaching them to follow basic commands like sit, stay, and heel.

The term emphasizes compliance—the dog learns to obey its owner.

Classes typically involve both the dog and owner learning together: We enrolled the puppy in obedience school after she chewed through the couch.
