Diane's Clever K9s runs group classes at the Creature Comforts training room on Camino del Rio and offers private lessons and board-and-train programs around Durango. The five-week basic obedience class is for dogs five months and older and is not for dog- or people-reactive dogs, who are steered to private work. Diane is certified by the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors and is an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator, and she is active in the Durango Kennel Club and local agility and working-dog clubs. Rally and CGC classes follow the basics.
