BASIC PUPPY
GENERAL INFORMATION
Group Training Classes
Our group classes are not your average pet store experience. We take a methodical, efficient, and practical approach that equips you with real skills to handle real-life scenarios and distractions.
As our trainers coach alongside you, you’ll gain confidence in:
• Proper correction and timing
• Leash handling skills
• Reading your dog’s body language
• Building a strong foundation for both on-leash and early off-leash commands
Our clients consistently love these classes for their interactive, informative, and detailed instruction, as well as the variety of behaviors and skills addressed.
