A group class is a great option for dogs 6 months or older who need training and can handle the class setting. For many group classes, we do require the dogs to be comfortable around new dogs and people. There are a few classes that are specifically designed for dogs who need more space or not to see other dogs. Please read the descriptions carefully.
Is your dog jumping on guests? Counter surfing? Not coming when called? Pulling on the leash? Then you are in the right place!
Manners
Is your dog pulling on a leash? Are they jumping all over your guests? Do you struggle to get them to come when called? Then our Manners class is the perfect fit! In this class, your instructor will coach you through skills such as loose leash walking, calming waiting, polite greeting, sit and down stay, and more. Teaching your dog what to do will provide more compliance and less frustration for you both. This is a 6-week class that meets for one hour each week. It is designed for dogs 12 months and older (or graduates from Puppy or Adolescent Pup class). Students with newly adopted dogs who are new to training or dogs who need to brush up on their manners are a great fit to attend this class. *Dogs should be people and dog-friendly. If not, please see Stress City page.
