We offer positive reinforcement reward-based training group classes, private instruction, and "Train & Play" sessions for daycare clients. From Puppy Kindergarten to Therapy Dog Prep Training, we hold a wide variety of classes including all levels of obedience, agility, nosework, rally-obedience, trick training, and outdoor classes!

Training Information:
We encourage the entire family to participate in the training process. Our indoor facility is small and we limit most group classes to four dogs, which ensures you and your dog receive plenty of individual attention. We allow two people to attend with each dog to class, and masks are encouraged when working indoors regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status. Dogs must be friendly with people and other dogs to participate in group classes. If you're not sure if your dog will be a good fit for our group classes, we are happy to schedule an evaluation with you to ensure compatibility in our group class space.
