About Our Group Classes
Our group training classes are designed to help dogs and owners build reliable obedience, focus, and confidence in real-world environments—while maintaining the structure, safety, and individualized attention we’re known for.
Unlike large, crowded group classes, our sessions are intentionally kept small and controlled. This allows us to create productive learning environments where dogs can practice skills around distractions without becoming overwhelmed, and handlers receive meaningful feedback and coaching.
Group classes are available in two formats to ensure training remains accessible while still maintaining a high standard of instruction:
Pay-What-You-Can Group Classes
(Maximum of 7 participants)
These classes are offered to make continued training accessible to as many owners as possible. The pay-what-you-can option allows clients to participate at a price point that fits their current situation, without sacrificing quality or safety.
Classes focus on foundational obedience, engagement, neutrality around other dogs and people, and reinforcing skills learned through private lessons or training programs. While slightly larger than our premium option, group size is still limited to ensure structure and control.
Small Group Training Classes
(Maximum of 4 participants — $30 per class)
Our small group classes offer a more individualized experience with increased trainer involvement. With fewer dogs in each session, we’re able to fine-tune handling, address specific challenges, and push reliability under higher distraction levels.
These classes are ideal for dogs working on advanced obedience, off-leash reliability, or proofing behaviors in real-world scenarios while still benefiting from a group environment.
