Training Courses
Each week introduces new skills and builds on the previous lesson. These are progression-based courses—not one-time drop-in classes. Once groups fill up, additional course days will open.
Owner(s) must be present during classes.
We also address common challenges such as jumping, biting, digging, leash pulling, crate training, and maintaining focus around distractions. Our goal is to support both you and your dog with effective, positive training.
Bordetella, Parvo/Distemper, and Rabies vaccinations required.
