Group Classes

Training your dog has only benefits. In our group classes, your pup will learn what you expect of them and, therefore, listen better. They will respect you more, thereby lessening or eliminating most reactivity issues they might have. Through training, your dog will build confidence in its surroundings and, most importantly, in you. Your overall relationship with your pup will improve the more time you invest in training. We're here to help make the time you invest more valuable by offering a class structure.

Puppy Class

"Imprinting,"… a word that can practically be replaced with "Bonding," occurs "during the most important stage in the early life of a dog. Pups at this age are at their most impressionable. Having your pup imprint on you means they are especially bonding with you, and that bond strengthens the more you spend time with them. Working with your dog at this life stage sets the foundation for your pup to grow. Teach Handlers the basics of dog training, with an emphasis on Focus. If a pup will not focus on you, it will not listen to you.

Proper leash handling
Focus!
Luring dogs into Sit, Down, and touch
Down Stay (Puppy Level – Little to no distractions)
