Group Dog
Obedience Classes

Whether your dog is calm or high-energy, small or large, young or old, you can find a family dog training class that will fit your pet and your schedule. Our customized dog training classes will transform even the most stubborn canine into a friendly and obedient companion. Our mission is to make sure your dog has the skills to be a valued member of your family.


All dog training sessions consist of 6 classes that are offered on a flexible schedule. Puppy and Beginner classes also include a separate Orientation class to prepare you and your dog for the training sessions. You can register for any session and Orientation and pick the day of the week and the time that suits your schedule. Questions regarding diet, grooming, choosing safe toys and other concerns will be covered in all sessions. We encourage the entire family to join us in the training. Ages 4 and up are welcomed to participate.

We require proof of vaccinations by a veterinarian that all shots (Bordetella *optional*, and Rabies) are up to date for the dog’s age.

**We do not offer refund for group classes if the group setting did not work out for your schedule or for your dog, but we are happy to transfer the remaining funds to private training session.
