Small Group Dog Training Classes
Flexible Saturday classes with personal attention
Our group classes are small, flexible, and practical.
Instead of being locked into a strict six-week course, you’ll purchase a package of 4 group class sessions for $200 and schedule your classes from the available Saturday time slots. At the end of 4 sessions you may purchase additional sessions until you feel you are ready to move on.
Classes are limited to 4 dog-and-handler teams, so you and your dog get more personal instruction than you would in a large group class.
Group classes are held most Saturdays and spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Why Our Group Classes Are Different
Most group classes are too crowded for much individual help.
These classes are different.
With only 4 students per class, you’ll get guidance, feedback, and adjustments based on your dog in front of you.
You also don’t have to keep up with a whole class moving through a fixed curriculum. After your required Orientation & Training Foundations class, you can choose available sessions based on what you and your dog need to work on, and continue training at your own pace.
This format gives you the benefit of group class pricing with a much more personal training experience.
How Group Classes Work
Purchase a package of 4 group class sessions for $200.
Once your class package has been paid, you’ll receive a booking link so you can choose an available time for your first class.
Your first session will be Orientation & Training Foundations. This required first class introduces how training works here, how to use rewards effectively, class rules, handling basics, and the foundation skills your dog will need before joining regular group classes.
After you complete Orientation & Training Foundations, you’ll receive a second booking link so you can schedule your remaining classes from the available class times.
Each class will have a specific focus, such as leash skills, recall, attention around distractions, settling, greetings, or self-control. Class topics will be listed on the booking page so you can choose the sessions that best match what you and your dog need to work on.
You have 6 weeks to use your first 4 sessions, which gives you some flexibility if you miss a Saturday or need to work around your schedule.
At the end of your first 4 sessions, you may purchase additional class packages and continue training. Additional packages can be used at your own pace, but expire 6 months from the purchase date.
Because each class is limited to only 4 dog-and-handler teams, available spots may fill quickly. Please choose your class times as soon as you know your availability and what you want to focus on.
Class Package Policy
New students: Your first 4-session package must be used within 6 weeks.
Continuing students: Additional 4-session packages may be used at your own pace and expire 6 months from the purchase date.
Class packages are for the enrolled dog-and-handler team and are not transferable to another dog or person without approval.
Beginning Manners
Beginning Manners is where your dog starts building the everyday skills that make life easier at home and in public.
This class may include:
- Paying attention around distractions
- Coming when called
- Walking more politely on leash
- Sitting, settling, and waiting
- Greeting people more calmly
- Building focus and teamwork
- Learning how to work around other dogs and people
This class is not about perfection. It’s about helping your dog understand what you want and giving you the tools to keep practicing at home.
You may remain in Beginning Manners as long as you like. All students must complete at least 6 sessions in Beginning Manners before moving into Advanced Manners.
Advanced Manners
Advanced Manners is for students who have completed Beginning Manners and are ready for more challenge.
In this class, we build on your dog’s foundation with more distractions, more duration, and more real-life practice.
Advanced skills may include:
- Longer stays
- Better leash skills around distractions
- Stronger recall
- Improved self-control
- More reliable focus
- More polished teamwork
Advanced Manners is a good fit for students who want to keep training, keep improving, and give their dog something useful to do.

Is Group Class Right for Your Dog?
Group class is best for dogs who can safely be around other dogs and people, even if they are excited, distracted, or still learning.
If your dog is reactive, fearful, aggressive, or seriously overwhelmed around other dogs or people, private training may be a better place to start.
That does not mean your dog is bad. It just means they may need a more controlled setup before joining a group environment.
