Group Class Information

These classes are designed for our trainers to TEACH YOU to train your dog.

Our trainers do not train your dog for you—instead, each class includes both lecture and demonstration, followed by dedicated hands-on practice time where you’ll work through each exercise with your dog under the guidance of your instructor.

To ensure every student gets personalized support, all classes are kept small—no more than 4 dogs per class.
