The Basic Group class is a 5-week course held on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. It focuses on teaching 5 basic commands: Heel, Sit, Down, Stay, and Come, utilizing on-leash verbal commands and hand signals. This class also addresses common behavior problems such as jumping, pulling on the leash, taking items off counters, and barking.

The Advanced Group class is also a 5-week course, with new classes starting approximately every two months. This program aims to prepare dogs for off-leash training by expanding on the basic commands, introducing several new commands, and refining the owner’s leash handling skills. Class sizes are kept small, around 6 to 8 dogs, to allow for more individualized attention.

The Bootcamp Agility Course is designed to build confidence, enhance the bond between the owner and their dog, and provide an enjoyable experience. Basic Obedience is a prerequisite for this course, and it is not recommended for puppies under 6 months of age. Additionally, clients have the option to “Build Your own Group Class” by gathering three friends, which offers a blend of individual training within a small group setting.
