Family Pet Training

Basics 1 Small Group Obedience Program

At Lake Country K9 to 5, we help everyday families build well-mannered, reliable dogs using positive, force-free training.

This class is designed to teach you how to train your dog — not just run them through drills.

If you’re willing to practice at home and put in the work, we’ll show you exactly how to do it.

Classes are intentionally small to provide more one-on-one coaching, direct feedback, fewer distractions, and time for real questions. Training is about teaching the human—our goal is for you to leave each week knowing exactly what to practice and how to do it correctly.
