Small Class Sizes. Great Education. So Much Fun!
*Current COVID restrictions: Masks required for all class attendees; Each registered dog may bring 2 humans.*
Your dog (and you!) learns so much more when you’re having fun. Our group dog training classes are very hands-on. We incorporate science-based methods that will help you achieve the goals you want for your dog. Because our classes are small (6 teams or less), you’ll get the individual support you need to confidently practice new skills at home.
Our classes are designed to support you and your dog at every age and stage. Every class includes curriculum instruction, 3-4 tasks to work on, human mechanics, and individual coaching.
Classes meet weekly for 3-6 weeks.

Behavior Change
Some dogs need extra help overcoming challenging behaviors. They may bark more than you want them to, pull at the leash, or show other signs of stress. These dogs aren’t trying to cause trouble–they’re reacting to a situation. You can help your dog learn how to handle these situations. We’ll show you how!
If your dog struggles with any of these behaviors, begin your training journey with this series.
