As a devoted pet parent, you want the best for your dog—whether it’s helping them be well-behaved in your home, teaching them fun tricks, or preparing them for life in the community. That’s where we come in! Our comprehensive dog training curriculum is designed to strengthen the bond between you and your dog while setting them up for a lifetime of success.
Why Enroll in Dog Training?
Training is more than just teaching your dog basic commands—it’s about fostering a positive, healthy relationship and ensuring that your dog understands how to navigate the world around them. Enrolling in dog training classes provides you with the tools you need to address behaviors, enhance communication, and create a harmonious home. Whether you have a playful puppy, a grown dog with a few habits to correct, or you’re interested in preparing your dog for the Canine Good Citizen certification, we have a class for you.
Our Curriculum
We offer a variety of classes designed to meet the unique needs of every dog and pet parent. From building foundational skills to advanced behavior training, we have something for all dogs!
Puppy Class
Our Puppy Class is designed for puppies 6 months and younger and is the perfect introduction to training, socialization, and confidence building! This 6-week class allows pet parents to actively participate alongside their pup while learning foundational obedience skills in a fun and supportive environment. Throughout the course, puppies will work on important beginner behaviors such as sit, down, leash manners, focus, recall, and polite social interactions. Our goal is to help create a strong bond between you and your puppy while setting them up for long-term success. Whether you are looking to build confidence, improve manners, or simply get your puppy off to the best start possible, our Puppy Class is a great fit for growing pups and their families!
Dog Obedience 1
Dog Obedience 1 is a beginner-friendly training course designed for dogs 6 months and older who are ready to build strong foundational obedience skills and improve everyday manners. This 6-week class allows pet parents to actively participate alongside their dog while learning effective training techniques in a fun and supportive environment. Throughout the course, dogs will work on important skills such as sit, down, stay, leash manners, recall, focus, impulse control, and polite behaviors around distractions. Whether your dog is brand new to training or simply needs a refresher on the basics, this class helps strengthen communication, confidence, and the bond between you and your pup. Our goal is to help set both dogs and pet parents up for long-term success through positive, engaging, and rewarding training sessions!
Dog Obedience 2
Dog Obedience 2 is the next step for dogs who have completed beginner-level training and are ready to advance their skills and reliability in more challenging environments. Completion of Dog Obedience 1 is required to qualify for this class. This 6-week course continues building on foundational obedience while introducing more advanced behaviors, longer durations, increased distractions, and improved impulse control. Pet parents will continue working hands-on with their dog while focusing on strengthening communication, consistency, and confidence. Skills may include advanced leash manners, extended stays, reliable recall, place work, improved focus around distractions, and overall real-life obedience. This class is perfect for dogs looking to take their training to the next level while continuing to build a stronger relationship with their owner through positive and rewarding training techniques.
Workshops
Our Training Workshops are focused, topic-specific classes designed to help dogs and pet parents strengthen particular skills in a fun and supportive environment. These shorter workshops allow you to target common challenges and improve real-life behaviors through hands-on training and guidance from our trainer. Workshop topics may include skills such as loose leash walking, recall, impulse control, and more. Each workshop is designed to provide practical training techniques that pet parents can continue using at home for long-term success. These classes are a great option for dogs who may not need a full obedience course but would benefit from focused work on a specific behavior or skill!
Puppy Preschool
Our Puppy Pre-School program is a drop-off training experience designed specifically for puppies 6 months and younger. This program combines socialization, confidence building, enrichment, and beginner training in a fun and structured daycare-style environment. Throughout the day, puppies will participate in supervised play, structured learning sessions, rest breaks, and one-on-one training focused on foundational skills such as sit, recall, leash introduction, focus, confidence building, and polite puppy behaviors. Pet parents will also receive updates on what their puppy worked on along with tips and homework to continue practicing at home. Puppy Pre-School is a great way to help your puppy build positive habits, gain confidence, and learn important life skills during their most critical developmental stage!
