Our Group Classes
Good dogs need a little help sometimes, too. Our dog training group classes focus less on traditional obedience and more on communicating with your dog, relationship building and learning practical life skills.
Training is a life-long adventure. Dogs do not come equipped with the knowledge or skills to understand our crazy human world – it’s our job to teach them skills to help them succeed, guide them through challenges, advocate for them, and meet their instinctual needs.
Group Learning Classes Can Help With:
- Puppy Life Skills
- Puppy Socialization
- Teenage Terrors
- Life Skills And Manners
- Having Fun With Your Dog!
- Meeting Your Dog’s Needs
- On-Leash Reactivity
- Behaviour Therapy Support
