All of our obedience classes are designed around safety and effective learning for both dogs and humans. We focus a lot on engagement between you and your dog as well effective communication via our marker training system.
We only allow friendly or mildly fearful dogs into our group classes. If you dog is reactive and or aggressive towards humans or other dogs, is terrified around lots of people, other dogs or new situations we suggest starting with private lessons to address these behavior concerns before joining a group class.
We welcome any other type of dog in our group classes, the over excited, the distracted and even the unmotivated. If you are unsure if a group class is the right fit for your dog feel free to contact us!
These classes are held at our training facility and class sizes are kept small to give you one on one instruction as needed. If your dog is learning things at a faster rate than your classmates we will move you ahead in the curriculum to challenge your dogs skills and keep you both learning. Similarly if your dog is struggling with an exercise we will let you work at the pace that is needed for your dog to achieve success.
