Group Classes
Whether you have a new puppy/dog or a dog who could use a refresher, group classes are a great way to build a foundation of skills that will benefit both you and your dog. Additionally, training classes will help foster confidence, respect, and trust between you and your dog. Classes also allows your dog to socialize in a safe and controlled environment.
All group classes are small. Therefore, I am able to give each student more personalized attention.
Most importantly all classes are fun and family-friendly!
