Group Classes
Why Us?
We are a group of certified and qualified professional dog trainers who are experts in teaching group class.
​
We will help you reach your goals using kind techniques your dog and family will love. No fear, force or pain are used. We don't use or recommend e-collars, shock collars, prong collars, choke chains or slip leashes.
​
We are Veterinarian recommended because we follow the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior guidelines for safe, effective training.

Canine Good Citizen Preparation & Test

Cost: $200 for 5 weeks
This 5-week course is designed to help dogs earn their Canine Good Citizen title. Enrollment includes five 45-minute classes, with the last week of class being the test. A big challenge for the CGC test is the absence of reinforcement. We will introduce remote rewarding and work towards our dogs completing the 10 objective test before receiving reinforcement. People are also welcome to take this course as a manners class, without the goal of earning the CGC title at the end. ($200 for 5 weeks)
