Let’s Train! offers a variety of training programs. Puppy Socialization is for puppies 9-16 weeks old, focusing on preventing common behavioral problems and teaching basic manners. It’s an open enrollment, drop-in style class with six sessions per package.

Levels Obedience Training is a flexible, membership-based program for dogs 4 months and older, offering unlimited drop-in sessions during the enrollment period. New students (unless from Puppy Socialization) must attend a scheduled Orientation class before starting Level 1. The program progresses through Level 1 (Impulse Control, Attention, Leash Walking, Come), Level 2 (Sit/Stay, Come, Leash Walking with increased difficulty), Level 3 (Down/Stay, Polite Greetings, Heel, Leave-It, beginning CGC), and Level 4 (Place, Leave-It, all CGC items). Students advance at their own pace.

Specialty classes include Rally Obedience (Novice and Intermediate levels), Therapy Dog Training (6-week course requiring a temperament assessment and AKC CGC), Scent Work (Novice and Advanced, teaching dogs to use their nose for detection), and Agility Fun Class (learning obstacles like tunnels, weave-poles, A-frame). They also offer “Let’s Train Workshops” on various topics like safety around dogs or handling anxious dogs. Private dog training lessons are available for individualized attention or specific behavior issues.
