How to Get Started!

Your dog training journey always begins with either an Orientation or an Evaluation. The Orientation is a free, 30-minute session attended without your dog, where you learn about the facility, policies, and basic marker training; it is a requirement for puppies under eight months or dogs ready for Obedience 1.

The Evaluation costs $25 (or $49 in Santa Clarita), lasts 30-45 minutes, and is attended with your dog. It is recommended for dogs 8 months and older, those with previous training or behavioral concerns, or for placement into more advanced coursework. Clients can also call the facility directly or fill out an online form to begin the process.
