What Is Our Goal For This Class? 

This class is perfect for puppies or dogs who are just beginning their training journey or for people who want to freshen up their dogs skills. This class will give you a great foundation to set yourself up on the right paw with your dog’s training! In this class, you will learn how to train with your dog in a positive way and you’ll even learn some basics about how dogs learn, dog body language, socialization, and more.

This class is designed to give you an overall picture of how to set your dog up for success. Along with teaching you how dogs learn and the techniques we use to encourage your dog to listen better, we will also discuss other aspects of having a dog like socialization and dog body language.

• Important Note: Group classes are NOT appropriate for dogs with reactivity. Reactivity can include: fear, aggression or over-excitement. While we love each and every pup, it becomes difficult for your trainer and the others in class when we are not able to focus as a group. If you are part of a class and your pup is experiencing reactivity, we will happily work with you to find time for private sessions that will better set you and your dog up for success.
